"I never suffered this problem because I had a very strong family base," Bundchen was quoted as saying in Friday's edition of O Globo
newspaper. "The parents are responsible, not fashion. Everybody knows the standard for models is to be thin,"
Not so fast Giselle... I partially agree with what she is saying. Yes, parents have a role in shaping identity, but to say that the fashion industry is not at fault would be a lie.
Does she realize that some models now don't even live at home? All agencies have "model apartments" where these girls live with other models, and last time I checked, without their parents. Anorexia is beyond physical, and more likely than not, models aren't calling home and telling their parents about what they did, or did not eat. Most of them are also still in their teens.
The fashion world isn't for the faint of heart and can be tough on a young girl's psyche. Even male models, are held to an incredibly hard to attain standard. There are realities such as drugs, and eating disorders which no one likes to discuss, but do exist. Hiding the problems won't make them go away...
Do you agree?
