RETHINKING FASHION TRENDS

[hotpixie3]

I think some of you are misinterpreting this.They are not trying to glamourise obesity. The women in this video are beautiful, curvy, and healthy. They make a very strong point that the fashion industry is being irresponsible with their obsession with overly skinny models. The poor wee lassies are underweight and young girls definitely are affected by this and aspire to have the famine look.Let's celebrate individuality, and strive to be healthy and happy with ourselves.

Hey, how about we make it fashionable to be healthy? My absolutely favorite model in ANY size is Crystal Renn. She's fit, healthy and gorgeous, and a size 14 at that.

We don't need to make obesity glamorous, but we need to accept the fact that real women have curves and normal women at healthy weights are gorgeous.

the high fashion industry has no time for the 'normal' figure in america aka a size 14, i live in ireland i and it's only a size 10 here,,but that's besides the point ,high fashion should'nt have to cater for large women, high fashion is art ,it needs thin women with beautiful visible bone structure to exhibit the clothes, they're not out to get fat people, so stop giving out about size 0 and give it a bloody rest already.

iam not fat myself a uk 8 but fashion models are ugly and gaunt looking. in real life without the high fashion clothes they look like little boys , not the slightest bit feminine. not something intelligent, independent women should aspire in the year 2008!! however i dont believe in being morbidly obese and glamorizing that either, being fit and healthy is what is the most attractive. be the best you can be.

high fashion does not need thin women to display the clothes. It is a choice being made by rich corporations because the diet industry and all other such crap thrives on making women insecure. They do it in such a way that they make young girls feel like there is a standard of beauty they aren't measuring up to, and those girls pay them to make them feel like crap.

Kudos for a tell-it-like-it-is video that I can totally relate to. I am a size 12 and at 48 yrs. old I have never looked better - I was always a skinny kid and young woman. I love the extra weight on my 5'8" frame.

I wouldn't even dream of sleeping with someone that's not a size 8-10, that's personal preference, nothing more~!.

Lame to the second power...

If you dont want to be judged then why would you want to walk?

[skel625]

I don't think we need fashion trends making it ok to not be healthy, and be overweight. 127 million americans are overweight, 60 million are obese. The worst thing to do would be to make it "fashionable" to be obese and unhealthy. At the rate America is going, by 2015 60% of Americans will be overweight with 30% being obese. Something has got to change.

I like what Solechnaya said: "Don't follow trends." Be yourself and live a healthy, active lifestyle.

I couldn't agree more**

[crash6871]

being fat is unhealthy

[Solechnaya]

Don't give a shit what other people think. It's a good messege, WalkTheCatwalk.

[Solechnaya]

I have a superb idea: Don't follow trends. Trust me, it's a waste of time. Be yourself instead.

[Buzzyg123]

this is awesome. the time for this is now! the fashion industry needs to listen.

[Solechnaya]

The fashion industry shouldn't start fucking trends. People should be themselves instead of buying into it.
