Female fashion models and stereotypes

[Zllata]

You're right that most designers who challenge the mainstream in fashion design don't do so when it comes to the types of female models who represent their collections on the runway. It's really paradoxical because men's fashion shows have long accepted more diverse types of models, while women's fashion shows are still stuck in stereotypical ideas of beauty.

This is an interesting subject matter, but to be honest and this might sound weird coming from someone like me. https://1depositca.com/

Fashion often sells an idealized version of beauty and youth, which many consumers aspire to. This drives the use of young and conventionally attractive models.

I totally agree with your point that using non-standard models often leads to more focus on the models themselves rather than the clothes, which can turn the conversation into a social commentary rather than a discussion about the actual collection. The same social norms in menswear aren't as rigid yet, allowing more flexibility for designers to experiment with different representations of masculinity.
On a personal note, I’ve started buying clothes from Porterium recently, and I’ve been really satisfied with the quality and unique styles they offer.
