"You know, fashion is only the reflection of what is happening in society.

You don't solve public health problems by regulating the size of models," he says.

Right, but only if the problems are not caused by the fashion world. Grumbach said that it is not the role of fashion to solve public health problems. Some comments by Didier Grumbach, head of the Chambre Syndicale, the body that governs French fashion, provide useful insight (my comments are in italics): She starved herself over a period of months after being told that she could be an international sensation if she lost weight.Īs one would expect, notwithstanding the rare example of Giorgio Armani voluntarily agreeing not to use size zero (U.S.) models, the Madrid ban prompted a fashion-industry backlash. Following the death of 22-year-old fashion model Luisel Ramos, who died of heart failure on August 2, 2006, after walking the runway during a fashion show in Uruguay, authorities in Madrid banned models below a BMI of 18 during the September 2006 fashion week.ĥ-foot-9 Luisel Ramos weighed 98 pounds at the time of her death. Unless the homosexual influence becomes widely known, the negative impact of skinny fashion models will not be lessened. One look at the boyish physique of Marianne Berglund and the face of Rachel Hunter, which looks like that of a male transvestite, should explain why there is a notable discord between the preferences of the fashion world and that of the general public: the fashion world is dominated by male homosexuals but the general public mostly comprises of exclusively heterosexual individuals. Comment: One wonders to what extent the judging panel worked toward making sure that Jen Hunter does not win or else they will be stuck with her as a model for the time period of the contract. When Marianne Berglund was the first person to be eliminated from the final four, the judging panel was shocked, but Rachel Hunter told Marianne that it was she among the final four who was the supermodel material. Rachel Hunter, another Judge, reprimanded Jen for saying she wanted to prove larger women could be successful models. Jen Hunter was criticized by Judge Tandy Anderson, managing director of Select Model Management, for having “stocky legs.”

Jen Hunter was reduced to tears when she was castigated on the reality TV show for not taking a food and exercise regime seriously. When it came to the final four, the Panel of judges, mostly comprising of people from the fashion world, said that Jen Hunter looked great and Marianne Berglund looked breathtaking and sensational! Comment: Whose idea of a breathtaking and sensational woman is one who looks like a boy in his early adolescence? If the general public were asked to pick the more aesthetically pleasing between these two women, the overwhelming vote will be for Jen Hunter, though most would agree that a woman deserving of a supermodel designation should look better than her, and Jen Hunter did indeed win the public vote, but was outcompeted by two men, one of whom won the top prize.Īnyway, here are the interesting comments:
