Skinny VS Curvy

PLUS Model is a magazine dedicated to plus-size fashion that also militates for variety and beauty (and body) diversity in the modelling world - in the January 2012 issue, the magazine published a controversial piece that reveals a variety of statistics on beauty image in the fashion world and featured size 12 US model Katya Zharkova in a cloth-less spread:

- Twenty years ago the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23% less.

 - Ten years ago plus-size models averaged between size 12 and 18. Today the need for size diversity within the plus-size modeling industry continues to be questioned. The majority of plus-size models on agency boards are between a size 6 and 14, while the customers continue to express their dissatisfaction.

 - Most runway models meet the Body Mass Index physical criteria for Anorexia.

 - 50% of women wear a size 14 or larger, but most standard clothing outlets cater to sizes 14 or smaller.

If we continue to ignore and rely on others to decide what we want to see,  change will never happen. We have to be vocal and proactive, patient and realistic.

How do you feel about all these? Must check the rest of the spread!
