This is It

The purpose of my blog was to look in depth into the way supermodels have influenced society’s views on body image and fashion styles. Throughout my blog I discussed the trends past and present that have been made by various supermodels, along with the ideal body image that without a doubt made its mark.

The ‘birth’ of the Supermodel has launched the modelling industry into the limelight, allowing the world to get to know and idolise these young women. As the world of the Supermodel grew, so did the effect they had on young women. They became idols who were recognised globally, thus using themselves to selves as a selling point. They sold their body, their hair, their style, the trend and ultimately themselves.

This is my response and I believe Supermodels from Twiggy, Kate Moss too Mirander Kerr make it to the top and from there expand themselves by selling themselves. This being what they believe in along with fashion and their bodies. Though many believe these women are sending a negative body image, resulting in cases of anorexia and bulimia in young women who try to attain their perfection.

The model is simply a coat hanger wearing the designer’s clothes, a supermodel is remarkable and they influence individuality with their style. They influence unique characteristic and expensive clothes. This is not supposed to be negative. They create an image to look at, not always meant to be seen in the average lifestyle.

Street Style

The clothes that are worn on the runway are not always suitable to be worn on a typical day, though the exaggerated look can be seen on high profile celebrity is various forms. It is not clothes the models from the runway wear that initially get young womens attention into the different style, but rather a lot of time it is the models “off duty” style. The models style is what can make or break the model sometimes. A models style is a hot topic and is watched by a diverse range of women around the world.


Ever wondered why you never see a supermodel wearing the same thing twice in any given photo? Well that’s most likely because they don’t. That’s an expensive lifestyle if you think about it, but the truth is not everything is paid for. They receive gifts from designers who use them as their personal muses or in simple words dress up dolls.

The supermodels are given clothing, makeup and accessories; all with the intention of promoting what they are wearing. I know personally that when I see a supermodel, such as Chanel Iman, that is perfect and I could happily wear that style; meaning I would most likely buy what she is wearing. These supermodels influence young girl choices when it comes to what they wear and accessorize, it isn’t always about body image.

Embarking to Improve

As i was reading last month issue of Vogue Australia i came across a an article that immidiatly had my attention. The article was called ' The Great Debate", it focused on body image and the society, using quotes and facts to emphasise the point it was trying to get across. 
 In Australia there has been a new code of conduct on body image established. It is a set guidline to encourage fashion, media and advertising bodies to peomote healthy body image.

 I was able to get these new guidlines out of Voguesa september issue, and to me they are quite forward.
