Nearly anyone with a famous connection can be a runway model at least once. Beginning designers or designers in need of free publicity do it to get a picture of their show in the press.

She's clearly not sample size, so special measures would need to be taken to prepare for her, measures that most designers wouldn't cater to unless it meant free publicity.

It's like when that guy got flak years ago for claiming Heidi Klum was too fat to be a runway model. He wasn't calling her fat, per se, just too fat for the runway. Designers don't have the time or budget to make a special outfit in anything but sample size just in case one of their models has a big waist, unless it's someone special who will get them attention.

The big names pull Cindy Crawford out of retirement, the little guys get Lena Dunham's doughy sister.

Attractive models are for print work (ads and billboards and spreads in Vogue). The girls on the runway aren't supposed to distract from the clothing; they're walking clothes hangers.

In the supermodel heyday of the late 80's you saw the gorgeous girls stomping the runway, but that's not done much anymore, and only ever by the really big name designers.

When they said androgynous models were popular I didn't think they also meant mannish looking women. Boyish looking women is one thing, she is quite another thing.

This has been explained in every thread where the conversation turns to runway shows, but here goes:

There are 2 types of runway show. haute couture (high fashion) and pret-a-porter (ready to wear).

Ready to wear shows are just what they sound like: poo poo that actually gets sold and will do in stores.

Haute couture shows are intended as walking art pieces, inspirations from what is influencing the ready to wear line that season. It's never intended to be sold, although occasionally a celeb will want to wear some crazy number to an event and it will be resized and loaned out. But you'll never see it in stores. That's the show that usually make the news.

Oh no, I get what Haute Couture is, I just don't know how that inspires anyone. It's the same poo poo that gets brought up about abstract art, but at least with that, you don't have the uncanny valley feeling due there being a person under all that poo poo.

I don't know. Some of us just really like it? :milkie:

Also, it costs them money to put on the shows and nothing is for sale so who's it hurting?
