“Girls of all kinds can be beautiful --- from the thin, plus- sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain- skinny, the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between” (Tyra Banks). Tyra Banks is a worldwide model, actress, and businesswoman. She has modeled for numerous magazines and brands, such as Victoria Secret, Covergirl, and Vogue. She is also known for her TV production, America’s Next Top Model. In this show, she helps women and men of all types to become a model. However, based on the type of model someone wishes to become, there is usually an image the company wants. If someone wished to become a model who walks on the catwalks and runways, the companies would only want to take the client if they are tall, and lanky. Modeling
Throughout time, bright designers, world-known magazines and famous models, where few are only African-Americans, had represented fashion. The fashion industry is one of the most demanding industries ever created. On one hand, designers have to be unique, professionals, consistent and most important, famous, to keep up with the industry. On the other hand, models have to be beautiful, with unique personalities, and most important, skinny. Before the Civil Right Movement, white Americans models and designers represented the fashion industry until famous models such as Naomi Campbell, and Iman Abdulmajid entered the industry. They were the most influential models in the 1980’s and 1990’s with their personal contribution on the industry. Beauty did not only brought goods and happiness; it also brought controversy and discrimination.
Fashion is a constantly changing industry; what is trendy one day is outdated the next. The 21st century has been a catalyst for a large movement in fashion. Paris, New York, and London are some of the main contributors to the fashion industry (“Fashion Capitals”). Along with being the main influences in fashion, they have significantly connected the world on a global level. Even on a local level, students and young adults indulge in fashion as a way to express themselves. Some people may argue that fashion helps express one’s imagination; however, fashion has become one of the major influences that promotes an unrealistic image of women that is detrimental to their bodies. This unrealistic image can lead to health problems, a negative body image, and a society based on appearances which is disadvantageous to our culture as a whole.
“My lips and fingers were blue because I was so thin that my heart was struggling to pump blood around my body”, said teen model fashion Georgina (Carroll 1). The new skinny has become excessively scrawny. Is it definitely not normal for today’s society models to walk around with blue fingers starving themselves until their organs start failing! As for the model agencies, they couldn’t care less of the pressure and dangerous practices they put the models through in order for them to stay thin for the runway. Even fashion Designers continue to produce the smallest couture sample sizes and scout for the slimiest bodies to wear the designs not aware of the consequences of the pressure they not only put on models, but on the society girls to look like these starving models. And when the models continue to get offers from the most important fashion industries like Prada, it motivates them to keep doing what they are doing to stay in the shape they are in (Carroll 1). But little did the outside world know what this pressure had on the models and what they were doing to their bodies to peruse their modeling careers.
Fashion has been around ever since ancient times, since the time of the Romans, it survived the world wars and is yet today a business with rapid changes. Fashion started off as an art form, a way for the rich to show their social status with unique and innovative designs that only they could afford. It was a way to separate the social classes of the society. In this paper I will include the creators of haute couture, and how the following designers developed couture, as well as leading names in today’s ready-to-wear industry. The list is long, but I chose to focus on the three most important designers in the modern fashion industry.

The scene starts off with a medium shot at eye level of a hospital’s waiting room, the camera pans from left to right across the lobby. The scene uses ambient lighting. It is filled with green seats in rows, all vacant but one. There is classical piano Chopin’s (nocturne op. 27 No. 2, etude op10 no3) playing in the background. There is one person sitting down with her hands in her laps, fingers intertwined twiddling her thumbs back and forth. Her clothes appear to be tighter, and her belly is swollen. The sound of sirens echo throughout the lobby breaking the calmness of the piano, the lady stands and looks outside the window to see flashing red lights. From a medium shot two men dressed in scrubs pull a man from a stretcher
Fashion is a word that can mean many different things. To some it means what models wear on the runway. To others, fashion means the clothing styles that people wear on a daily basis. A good place to start this discussion would be to define what Fast Fashion is; it is the rapid conversion of design trends into multi-channel volume.
The Fashion Industry can be described as a glamorous world with cameras flashing, beautiful models strutting down the runway, in stunning and grand designs. What really goes on behind fashion’s dolled up doors is only an illusion compared to what reality is. Beautiful people, stylish clothing and timeless sophistication all make up the illusion of the glitz and glam of the fashion industry, but behind the curtains countless of models and designers constantly fall victim to this industry’s ever changing wrath. Fashion can be defined as a popular trend especially in styles of dress, ornaments or behavior. A model is a person who poses or displays for art purposes, fashion or other products and advertising. Fashion models are used mainly to promote products focusing mostly on clothing and accessory. The two main type of modeling in the fashion industry is commercial modeling and high fashion modeling. High Fashion models usually work for campaigns, designer’s collections and magazine editorials for high fashion designers. Runway modeling also known as “catwalk modeling” is displaying fashions and is generally performed by high fashion models. In my research paper, my main focus will be the multiple effects on high fashion models based upon the industry’s unregulated standards.
A Fashion photograph is not just there for you to look at and like or dislike and pass it through your memory. But it’s there to give you a storyline, a desire, an illusion and a fantasy. The image makes you want to buy what is being advertised to you.
Everybody loves a pretty face, but having a unique look is not all that mandatory for models. A good attitude and a capability to work well with others are necessary characteristics of a model along with plenty others. If you have a desire to be a model but you have a bad attitude and act as if you know everything there is to know, that will not go over well with agencies you may be looking to support you in your future possible career as a model....
Doug Taylor explains that preparation for work normally happens a few days before the trip actually starts. The reason for this is because he is a “commuting” pilot, he is based in an airport out of state so he flies into his base airport the day before to make “sign in”. At the gate, the gate agent verifies my identification and gives me paperwork for the flight. I begin preflighting the cockpit and check various systems, and make sure that all of the indications are appropriate and safe to fly. The gate agent comes down and sees if the flight attendants are ready for passengers, I go downstairs to the tarmac and complete the exterior preflight of the airplane. Once back to the cockpit and the captain and I begin the “before start checklist”. The captain goes over the paperwork while the lead flight attendant will close the cockpit door. We push back, start the engines, coordinate with ramp and ground control to taxi out to the runway for
The models work with the designers throughout the season and are in competition with each other. Notably, whenever the number of the contestants is reduced the models are also reduced during the competition. At the initial states of the show
Fashion takes on many different facets and concerns many subsets— a model sashaying down the runway in a gown encrusted in real gems, Lady Gaga’s infamous dress made of cuts of raw beef, a teenage girl obsessing over the season’s latest styles— it is all an expression of our minds and who we are or want to be, made tangible. It is a medium just like any other, for while artists wield brushes and paints, designers use thread and cloth to illustrate their vision. The artistry is none more so apparent than in the exclusive world of haute couture, a world of extravagance that caters to aesthetics, producing one-of-a-kind wearable masterpieces that are made to be admired rather than worn. It is without doubt, high fashion and its design is an art.
To be better prepared you should bring extra copies of your resume. You never know who all will be doing the interview process, and it would look very great to have copies prepared so that everyone could look over your resume if they would like. Having a reference list ready with names, organizations, and phone numbers will reflect greatly on your effort in being prepared. Knowing what type of interview you will be attending will help you prepare for what kind of questions you will be asked, and what kind of things you will be asked to do. Sometimes, the employer will interview you in a group with others and ask you situational interview questions, depending on the position you are applying for. In this case, you would need to be prepared to answer questions in front of others and not just one-on-one with the hiring manager. Researching situational interview questions and preparing real life responses will help during your interview.
