Chubby Fashion Models "Will Make Women Fat"



One of the problems dealing with fashion today is the catwalk and which models walk the walk. Recent controversy came up when Italian researchers came to a conclusion that when chubby models walk the runway, it will give a bad impression of how models should look, which causes women to become fat. According to Dr. Davide Dragone at the University of Bologna in Italy, "curvier models would lower the incentive to lose weight. making eating habits and health deteriorate." We all know when skinny models walk the runway, everyone admires their bodies and wants to become what they see, but no one acknowledges the fact that they are too skinny and will pass out in a matter of seconds due to nothing in their bodies. If curvier women were to walk the runway, the fashion society and many others would argue that it is not the right thing in the fashion world and no one wants to see a fat girl in designer clothes on a runway. Only a few would agree that curvier women on the runway would be an inspiration because they look normal to others and that is how we all need to be, healthy and normal. According to Dr. Davide Dragone and Dr. Luca Savorelli," to promote chubby fashion models when obesity is one of the major problems of industrialized countries seems to be a paradox." I do agree that obesity is a huge problem in industrialized countries like the United States but having a normal, healthy women walk the runway won't spark people to become sick and develop eating disorders due to the fact that the "regular" models are way to skinny. Models all over the world are always being looked at and judged and I think to have all shapes and sizes is a good thing to the men and women that compare their bodies everyday. Skinny models should start to become a thing of the past. Bring in the healthy models!
