With personal experience around the
subject of body image and appearances, I have found a great and almost natural
sympathy about the controversial subject – ‘The body of the Fashion Industry’. We’ve come to accept the thin or
ever-so-slight silhouette but most of us don’t have the understanding around
the reasons why we have become fixated on this specific body shape to
communicate designs and clothing.
There is a black hole in the fashion
industry about the ‘ideal’ body size and body image. It is advertised and
recommended to society, many of who have mental health issues, a low self
esteem or are self-conscious. From
Fashion Designers to family and friends, the body image in the Fashion Industry
has been a controversial subject; it has been a never-ending discussion with a
contrast of negatives and positives within the subject.
