The fashion industry is a wide industry concisiting of fashion designers, models, make up artists, photographers, and more. In the fashion industry a standard has been set for the exact type of body size a model must have be able to wear the clothes of the designers which will help show the designers of the fashion designers better.
But this body requirements models must meet are for models alone, they are not the standard of beauty in the whole world. But because the fashion industry is wide and people associate it with beauty, and the standard of beauty. This has caused a lot of controversy among the youths as they believe to be beautiful you must meet with the standard of a model.
Causing youths who are fat in nature to have low self-esteem, those without the perfect clear skin to have insecurities about themselves and the desperate need for approval. It has gone far to the point where youths use drugs just to get that perfect body shape, those drugs come with side effects which eventi leads to death.
Because of this, protest are being made against fashion shows in England, Paris, and United States. They protest against the beauty standard the fashion industry has made whereas the standard the fashion industry made in regards the body is only for models not for everybody.
Till today magazines fashion shows, modeling industry, cosmetic industry face a lot of problems as they were seen as the reasons for the youths trying everything possible means just to get the "perfect body"
Youths should be taught more about the fashion industry, and no matter the body size they have, that they are beautiful regardless and don't need to go for plastic surgeries, use drugs, or starve themselves. Models they see on the runway, billboards, magazines, are getting their bodies shaped the way the fashion industry wnats them to be for the soel purpose of fashion, and fashion alone.
