Underage models used in high fashion make me so mad
I honestly hate how the high fashion modelling world, aimed at ADULT women uses pre-pubescent girls as models for their products. I mean, how fucking ridiculous is that?! These girls haven’t even gone through puberty yet, their body hasn’t grown into a woman’s. Yet you are using them to promote clothes for women who HAVE gone through puberty, the majority of who now have wider hips and a larger bust. It’s a joke.
And I feel SO much for these girls. I remember how hard it was dealing with puberty and how my body changed when all I had to do was go to school. You get signed on your pre-pubescent body and either have to be naturally be built that way, work your ass of/take dangerous paths to keep that physique or develop into something they consider keeping. Its not like you get to pick the width of your hips when puberty starts or the size of your bust.
Sorry to rant, but I just read that Dior’s new face is just 14 years old and I was absolutely disgusted. This is a big part of when I detest mainsteam ‘high fashion’ brands. No teenage girl should be put under that level of pressure. You’re still a kid, you’re still vunerable, you don’t have the maturity to recognize when you are being exploited and I’m sorry, dressing girls in women’s clothing is a level of sexualisation that doesn’t help the world protect the innocence of teenage girls in the world today
I love a good tit as much as any other bisexual woman. However, the way the fashion industry provocatively and unnecessarily reveals the breasts of underage models in the name of creativity and expression really grinds my fucking gears.
