Barbie also went on to claim that the industry have been forcing runway models who put on even one inch of weight around their hips to ‘starve themselves’.
She said:
“Not only the consumer is being told they’re not good enough – even the girls in the pictures are given the same shit”
Many props to Barbie for having the confidence to speak on what many of us are thinking. Hopefully this horrific attitude from the modelling industry towards curvier models and people in general will change sooner rather than later. We don’t need another generation of young women who are miserable because they feel they need to conform to standards of beauty that aren’t even real.
