Having done one semi-awkward professional photo shoot and watching countless reruns of America's Next Top Model on Virgin America flights, I can attest to the fact that modeling is not as easy as it looks. However, it's definitely not something that only highly trained professional models can do either.
Parisian fashion house Lanvin, proved this point with their new ad campaign in which they hired ordinary people to model their latest designs. So, it's got me thinking: Do we even need professional models -- or should "real people" be the "real models"?

I do wish there'd be more realistic and healthier models out there though, simply because too many people get inspired by the unrealistic looking minority the models and then start to believe that there is something wrong with their body or that they need to look like they're starving in order to be considered normal.
Models are hired to be chosen to present certain designs, making them more aesthetically pleasing.
Fashion isn't all about what will sell for the average person, it's actually often just a art form, just another way for a designer to express their creativity. Clothing producers get inspired by fashion designers and then sell their designs to the population, people get to choose their own style and see what clothing suits them the best. That's how it works. But designers still prefer having models around, rather than having to pick up random people on the street in hopes of finding the right "look".
Models are not a "need" and neither is commercialism.
On second thought, I need one right about now. here, in my room. j/k
Personally, I think these pictures are horrible.
Models don't buy the clothes...real people do...models who are overly attractive or skinny are merely distractions from the crappy products. If a style or fashion was that good... you could hang it on a bowery wall...and it would look good.

The item just doesn't look or work the way it would with a thinner model. Twelve to fourteen is considered plus size. There is a reason plus size is dealt with separately a lot if the time; simply so the designers can make flattering clothing for all sizes. Certain fabrics will look absolutely awful on larger models. Just a fact.
Being a size zero is just as normal as being a size fourteen, by the way. As long as you're healthy inside you shouldn't have prejudice to either size. Some people are naturally a size zero. In fact, most size zeros are perfectly healthy– just as much as size fourteens are. I don't like it when people try and say 'average size'. You're just discriminating.
What you're saying is pure discrimination against skinny girls. I've seen you rant and hate toward them on more than just this post, so maybe you just have some weight issues of your own.
