Karolina Kurkova in bikini
It’s from Sao Paolo fashion week courtesy of Celebrity Smack!
Pictures like these are always going to illicit comments about the
disparity between models and the general public. Fashion insiders will
declare this women
unfit to walk the runway. They’ll say she’s too fat and unsightly to
walk around in a bikini. This straightforwardness will evoke a
defensive element in women
and others who believe that the fashion industry does not portray an
accurate portrayal of society. This idealization is what some believe
to be the root of
several mental disorders like body dis-morphia, anorexia, bulimia and
the such.
I will never trivialize these diseases. I believe them to be serious
and cause-worthy. However, diseases like this are based on a set of
factors that are
internal to the victim. As long as we as a society idealize human
beings, these diseases will exist. Having declared this, Karolina
Kurkova is indeed unfit to walk the runway. We have to think about
this from an economic perspective. This woman is paid crazy amounts of
money to portray a specific idealized image of the human body. Her job
is to maintain herself. She is paid to be something that we cannot
be. If models were normalized, what would separate us from them?
Nothing. Anyone could get up onto the runway and walk a few paces to
some stupid
music. This woman’s job is dependent on the way she looks. If I didn’t
do what I got paid to do, I would get fired. Likewise even if she
looks normal compared to
people on the sidewalk, that’s not what she gets paid for. She is
unfit to perform her assigned task.
This may seem harsh, but this reasoning is exactly why models have
short shelf-lives. Their period of perfection is usually short term
and based on what the
look for the season is. Modeling is a business based on someone’s
appearance.
That’s why they are called models. They’re not supposed to look like
us.
