While Victoria&#8217;s Secret models are naturally slim, forcing the body to endure starvation in order to lose a few pounds is harmful and unhealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/fashion\/2016\/apr\/07\/my-agents-told-me-to-stop-eating-the-reality-of-body-image-in-modelling\">Erin Heatherton, who quit working with the brand in 2013, was pressured by the lingerie brand into losing more weight<\/a>. Erin worked with Victoria&#8217;s Secret for 5 years but claims she was told to lose more pounds in her last two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being on a strict diet and exercise regime, Erin felt that her body was &#8220;letting her down&#8221;. She ate well and exercised twice a day, but couldn&#8217;t drop to the fashion house&#8217;s desired weight. Of course, the reality was she didn&#8217;t need to lose weight. Their expectations for her were unrealistic and unhealthy. And because she couldn&#8217;t do it, it triggered a battle with depression which she said made her feel she had to speak out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said, &#8220;I got to a point where one night I got home from a workout and I remember staring at my food and thinking maybe I should just not eat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erin says she looks back now and realizes it was ridiculous. She decided to speak out because she didn&#8217;t want people who admire her to think looking like her is easily obtainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Models_Speak_Out\"><\/span>More Models Speak Out<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And Erin isn&#8217;t the only model to have spoken out. Jazz Egger, who featured on Germany&#8217;s Next Top Model, released a YouTube video about being told she is too fat to model by an agency &#8211; despite already being underweight at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Model Agency says I&#039;m TOO FAT to be a Model\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NCglDuNnAaY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you Google &#8220;too fat to model&#8221; you&#8217;ll find plenty of stories about models who have been told they need to lose weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Models are finally feeling confident enough to speak up about their ill-treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Times_Changing\"><\/span>Are Times Changing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dishearteningly, models are still being treated poorly within the fashion industry. However, there appears to be a more positive movement happening. Models are speaking up, unafraid to call out those who are supporting unhealthy habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s not just models speaking out &#8211; the industry itself seems to be listening. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-europe-39821036\">France recently passed a law<\/a> to legally ban models who are too thin. And in 2018, Vogue said they would stop using models in their adverts as it gave a &#8220;false impression of what an average woman would look like wearing the advertised clothes&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it&#8217;s not much, it&#8217;s definitely a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Help\"><\/span>How to Help<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As consumers, we have to ask ourselves if we are part of the issue. Purchasing and supporting brands who use underweight or unhealthy models only increases their need for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also might be worth messaging a brand if you think they don&#8217;t show enough diversity in their advertising. Brands are listening to their customers; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/uk\/body\/a27607586\/asos-unedited-pictures-imperfect-models-diversity\/\">ASOS<\/a> has started using images of unedited models in their adverts, H&amp;M have used models with disabilities in their marketing campaigns, and PrettyLittleThing are supporting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/fabulous\/9351172\/size-16-model-prettylittlething-unedited-pictures\/\">plus-sized models<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Models being treated poorly will soon be a thing of the past as long as we continue to speak up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sound familiar?
