As a guy I have long been stunned, mystified, and annoyed by the prevalence of female “models” who are so skinny they look like 14 year old boys — I don’t begin to comprehend what could possess advertisers to go for anorexic teenagers..... but then someone said it’s b/c a lot of gays in the fashion biz set the trends and that begins to make some sense as an explanation — b/c I sure don’t see the sex-appeal in a lot of the famous fashion models who need to seriously pack on some weight.
See post # 6.
Short answer: fashion designers are gay men. They LIKE women who look like 14 year old boys. (ahem)
The idea is that they're supposed to be basically clothes hangers- designers don't want girls with too many curves to mess up the intended look of the clothes.
b/c I sure don’t see the sex-appeal in a lot of the famous fashion models who need to seriously pack on some weight.
Runway models are showing clothes that are being sold to women, not men- the consideration of whether they are sexually attractive to men isn't all that high on the list of factors.
