how the industry tried to take them down when they got to much power for the industries liking.

i might have to check this out then. i was looking at some stuff a while ago about how miucca prada was salty about fashion in this era becoming more about the supermodels as personalities/public figures than the clothes so she pushed to have the same blandest looking waifs on the runway so the focus would go back to the clothes/designers smh

It's funny I remember a while back wondering why the super skinny requirement of that era. And then I realized it's because they literally wanted walking clothes hangers.

I remember watching a Burberry show a few years ago and noticed one model who was a bit curvier and I kept paying attention more to that than the whole outfit. So in some ways I wasn't surprised when they went for these super skinny girls cause they don't have much to show off other than a pretty face and nice walk, the clothes will stand out more.

working models becoming "famous" public figures (versus nepo baby stunt cast ones) and becoming part of the draw of whether or not the press want to attend/cover shows also gives them bargaining power when it comes to pay :/ someone who knows that they're valuable on an individual level will be less willing to put up with bs

that is wild to be because there are definitely body shapes that make certain clothes look better by filling out the shape of the garment more. idk how to word it that doesn't body shame anyone but sometimes a bigger woman just makes the garment look better.

Wow I had no idea the industry tried to take them down. They must have failed badly because these women reigned supreme for quite a while!

I thought it was a great watch! Everyone still looked great.

Naomi is stunning. Still.
Its a great watch.

Kaia really has Cindy's whole face.

Stunning and it shocked me that she smoked lol. I wonder if she did follow through with quitting by now.
