Minimum Weight Limit for Professional Models
In the world of professional modeling, models have been expected to be thin. This is not a good trend as far as modeling is concerned. Many people have assumed that for one to make a they should be thin. It is evident that most designers are only interested in ensuring that their products fit their prospective customers. On the other hand, they have forgotten to critically look at the whole modeling aspect as expected. The model trends have been mostly leaning on thin models. To suit the market these models have always struggled to ensure that they have the right bodies that will make them more competitive. And this explains why many of them prefer to be thin. It has been forgotten that modeling is a round profession that should also .
The study aims at ensuring that the trends are changed so that we can in the modeling profession. For a long time, many designers have been using models to try and sell their products. Modeling is a good profession whose impact on society can not be ignored. Since it touches on everybodys life we need to change our minds on how we look at these . We have been able to change our perceptions about some products because of the good mannerisms in the profession. On the other hand, we have forgotten to give this industry the attention it deserves and left it to thrive on unsound principles.
Though it has been proved that thin models make better professions we can not forget that we also have other capable people who can also do well in the industry. Modeling is not a wholesome industry but it has many segments that can be redefined
to incorporate other emerging approaches to the profession. It has different aspects like photographic modeling, fashion modeling, fit modeling and commercial modeling (Mendick 12). This therefore tells us that this is a very big industry that can accommodate everyone and not necessarily thin models.
We consume many products and this explains our diversity. On the contrary we have not translated this diversity to allow even bigger models to market the products that we use because of our belief that modeling should only be done by thin models
The weight issue has presented many arguments as for which way to follow; there are many cases where models have always starved themselves in the process of trying to be to come up with the right bodies. As a consequence of this the models have ended up having a problem of anorexia nervosa. Models have in most occasions been straining just to have the skinny figure that will win those contracts. This is in total violation of nutritional ethics and impacts negatively on their health (Rumney, p. 5).Anorexia nervosa is a bad disease to the modeling industry and it has resurrected the justification for there to be limits towards weight that one is supposed to have so as to reduce the number of skinny models.
