Tara Lynn "V"

Not long ago, "V" released a special issue that advocated a variety of body shapes. The protagonist was a series of full-bodied beauty represented by Tara Lynn No.16, and the fat that overflowed from the gaps in the clothes. This kind of theme is both fresh and familiar - every once in a while, fashion magazines plan content related to body shape to show the fashion industry's tolerance for various female figures. However, starting last year, the industry’s attitude on this issue seems to have changed from quantitative to qualitative: Large-scale models no longer appear only in magazines and television, but also on more demanding platforms, including Chanel. The early spring series conference in St. Tropez. The 14th model Crystal Renn became the first supermodel in history, appeared on the T stage of Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier, and boarded the cover of the Italian version of Vogue.

Christina Hendricks, a busty star of Joan Holloway in "Mad Men"

Although it takes some time for the trend on the stage to spread to the ordinary people, this time the female customers are greeted by the extraordinary enthusiasm and speed to welcome the “new standard figure”. Compared to the No. 2 figure that for years imprisoned the desire of women, the more plump curves appeared more approachable. Recently, Lynn Featherstone, Minister of Equality and the Rights of the United Kingdom, published her opinion on the model body of the fashion industry: “All women have succumbed to this unrealistic cliché. This is not only a temporary hazard but a life-long torture.” She believes that women should use the full-fledged star Christina Hendricks of Joan Holloway in The Mad Men as an example.

Lizzie Miller Glamour

The trigger of the incident can be traced back to a group of photographs published in the magazine Glamour in autumn last year: Lizzie Miller, who is 180cm tall and weighs nearly 80kg, is naked and boldly revealing his belly. Supporters of the large model saw a close-to-real female figure in this series of events, while opponents thought it was just a carnival of blind extremism. "This is not a positive display of the large-scale women in the fashion industry. Instead, it is an abnormal show." In the "V" official website, a visitor said in a message. Another viewer pointed out that going to the other extreme does not change the unhealthy body standards of the fashion industry. Instead, it will convey yet another wrong message. “The skinny models did let us boast... But I can't agree that anyone should regard these women as idols. No one wants to be fat!” the netizen wrote.

Another view is that Christina Hendricks is not an ordinary large figure, but a devil figure that has been recognized since ancient times. It's not as simple as trying to reduce the figure from the 14th to the 2nd - even more difficult. After all dieting can lose weight, and changing the proportion of the body must rely on surgery. Therefore, Lynne Featherstone is actually replacing the existing body style standard with an incredible female body size, but this will not increase women's confidence in their body shape.

The Guardian columnist Emily Hill wrote in the article: “I think even if I eat 12 doughnuts in one go, my hips won’t grow like her. She’s worn or padded. “This beautiful redhead, with a finely-wrought dress, has made her feel pressure. I can't help but ironically say that Joan deserves a “Noble Prize for a perfect female figure”. “It's impossible for Joan to be a good example for women in London. It's impossible for them to feel better,” she said. “At least KateMoss is not always well-dressed. At least Cindy Crawford has a damn deaf.”

Indeed, there have been enough studies to show that the existing body-building standards have done harm to women – victims include women who are actually well-balanced. Featherstone insists: "Some industries use physical beauty standards as a commercial means. This social issue should become a political issue." Her remarks came at a time. However, if the aesthetic standards change immediately, if the media immediately replaces 10,000 full-bodied bodies that we currently see every week, the new standard body will also bring about the same aesthetic crisis as “skinny bones”. .
