Fashion Models -- Soon to Be 'Fitness Models'?
April 6, 2010
By Jennifer White
There's been a lot of recent chatter about how the traditional super models are no longer the top babes in the industry anymore -- that now it's all about really fit women who are starting to turn the fickle tides of male attention. Is it true? Is the notion of female beauty shifting from thin and delicate to strong and lean?
We put together 4 reasons -- 2 for, 2 against -- explaining why fashion models might not be around forever.
For #1: Celebrities are the New Supermodels.
It's not that fashion models are disappearing, but because of their lesser influence, they have to go along with the trends coming out of Milan, Paris, London, and New York. And celebrities don't have to do that, so they are free to get as 'fit' as they want and still appear on the cover of Vogue.
In Favor Two -- Do We Still Have Super Models?
Now, models come from the internet or get discovered in crazy ways. The original way of 'making' a supermodel just doesn't really happen anymore, and it's harder to break out of the fashion industry and into the 'celebrity' industry than it ever was before. So the chances of a fitness model breaking through are actually a lot higher.
Why Not Number One: Most Guys Still Enjoy the Traditional Female Beauty Idea
No matter how many inroads fitness-based women might make on fashion models, the fact is that guys who like the lean muscle tones instead of the smooth lines of beautiful, top models, just isn't that high of a number. Until cultural values change, toned top models will be a minority.
Why Not, Number 2: It's Rare to See A Fitness Model Make it Huge
Fashion models and supermodels are established industries. And fitness and diet books and products are also huge, established industries. But "fitness models" coming out of that world in order to take over the other? Or super models suddenly becoming ultra-fit and strong? Nope, not gonna happen.
