Fashion Design Sketch

Fashion the downside

In my previous post I talked about the positive things of fashion shows. I feel the need to talk about the downside as well, because it's not all as great as it may look at fist sight.



Fashion shows is all about an artistic expression of a designer. Clothes are worn by people, and those people wearing the clothes on the runway are inevitably part of the total image. When a designer will design clothes he also selects someone to wear these clothes, someone that fits his/her image, the creative vision of the design.
Somehow most designers feel that a tall slim girl is ideal. If you look at the shape of a person on a sketch of a fashion designer, you will see this is a none existing profile of a human. See this image of Versace where you can see an already slim model is twice the size of the sketched girl.
