the skinnier the prettier



Ive looked into more of the "ideal" beauty subject and thought about what else do women feel they have to be and look like in the generation.I thought about the way the body has to look.
Anorexia

I found a model PhotoShoot that a photographer did to protest against anorexia not to show it off.He took pictures of normal sized models and edited them to make their bodies look stick thin and bony for an editorial look but still against being so thin for society.

Some models in this world are actually this skinny which is scary:





As i like fashion and textiles id love to make a garment and i found this piece by elsa shiaperelli.


elsa Schiaparelli

To many contemporaries the sinister black skeleton evening dress with its padded representations of human bones was an outrage - an offence against good taste. Although otherwise in elegant harmony with the prevailing lines of late 1930s evening wear, the skeleton dress is so constricted that it became a second skin and the imitation anatomy sat defiantly proud of the fine matt silk surface. Schiaparelli exaggerated the usually delicate trapunto quilting technique to make enormous 'bones' - the design was stitched in outline through two layers of fabric, then cotton wadding inserted through the back to bring the design into relief on the front. The shoulder seams and right side are closed by bold plastic zips.
