- In the third episode of “The Models,” Vogue's four-part docu-series, runway stars get real about eating disorders, size discrimination, and the fashion’s fraught relationship with weight. Through candid conversations and never-before-shared stories, they describe what it’s like to challenge the status quo and why attaining a healthy body image is more important than booking a runway show.

Vogue really pretending that they don’t contribute to this
they didn't contribute to this.. they made all of this. your body must be 'vogue'
my thoughts exactly. I was wondering if the Vogue community manager was attempting🤔 a coup or something with this video
@@moustik31 at least if they'd change their perspective they can say sorry first
@@kumarmahardhika4839 I'd love to see that in my lifetime. there has been too much abuse going on and not enough support for good practices
@@moustik31 same !! keep praying for that miracle happen
no shade but doesn’t Vogue literally fuel this
Tea🤷🏽♀️
exactly
No just Vogue but you as a consumer also!
For real. I hope this is a starting point for positive change, but I'll believe it when I see it.
yes shade
The word “unusable” just shows how some of them are treated like objects.
Ikr
Pfff some of them? All of them.
Im a model, you are treated as a peace of meat.
@@tequilabumbum4373 humans are meat lol but i get what you are saying
Smrda Mudic then why are you a mode
@@ava_adamsg Cause if i can use my beauty to make money, travl the world,learn languages, it would be stupid not to. Every job is hard and everyone have bosses to handle. So also modelling have many cons but much more pros,thats why I do it.
every womens magazine
page 3 : men like curves
page 4: how to lose weight in 3 weeks
Very true
It's not just for men though. But yeah it's problematic to create thin n curvy standards
Page 5: Love yourself
Page 6: Cake recipe
oh, and "this is how i started to love my body" and next page "how to lose weight"
@@Vardagsvegan1 lol
Seems unfair that Vogue can be leaders in the systemic abuse of young women and also capitalise on the body positivity movement. You only get to pick one.
@@A...M. Hi there. I saw you post this on a number of comments. I hope you know I support models, and adore the women in this video. I support any vocation that women choose. I believe they should be able to have a safe working environment, where their health, creativity, and beauty is upheld and appreciated. And I hope you find a non-exploitative environment for yourself to explore your career.
@@stevietricks4954 Thank you for understanding, us models are not unhealthy, in fact we are the very opposite. And the fashion industry is over time starting to promote body positivity, but more so there is a legitimate reason to why models in some big labels are this certain stature; You know how you get fitted for clothes and how womens' bodies are all different. In fashion shows and such, you don't have enough time to get fitted and have clothes altered. It's go, go, go. Therefore it makes it a whole lot easier for models to all be a single on rack size because if major fashion labels did show case a range of sizes it would take too much time to get all the models' clothes tailored and fitted multiple times. There are only 6 weeks of preparation for a fashion show and that is including castings. And by the time they would finish the season would be over.
EXACTLY
A M 3.5 thousand people here disagree with you. What you are expressing is called Stockholm Syndrome.
@@A...M. and i'm Peter Griffin. We can all pretend!
I'm confused about why Vogue is interviewing them & posting this....when they're a part of the problem 🤔
K. G. J. It’s a form of mental abuse... it’s to recall the emotional trauma and reenforce their slave status... also it effects the viewers like you and me, and others as well... the exploitation and forced slavery under the system which we are all in is happening to us all.. because we are all intricately connected... if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us!
K. G. J. EXACTLY!!!
the models want to make a living out of something they're passionate about. everyone is beautiful. The problem is the problematic people who compare your image to model standards and criticise you for the way you look. It only proves that at any point in a person's life, there can always be insecurity no matter how skinny, curvy, beautiful (the list goes on) they are.
for real like what?

I don't think people realize just how bad it is to be 98 pounds when you're around 6ft tall. THAT'S A BMI OF 13.3!!!!!
omg thats really bad healthy is like 17 or something
@@amy5270 Healthy is 18.5....😘
@@viceb7 don't be rude...
A normal woman is healthy at a BMI of 18.5 or more...
Obviously, if you have a lot of muscles, you weigh a lot more. But at every Website with an BMI Calculator, they explain you that it isn't meant for people with a lot of muscles.
So just think before you write. These models don't have the amount of muscles like a bodybuilder.
Marina.Green it’s 18.5 to 24 or something ...mine was always 17 and I got so bullied for being too skinny but that was just my body type
@@sharkwater1726 i'm sorry... And i don't mean to offend anyone who is smaller. It's just the official healthy BMI ❤
The hypocrisy of Vogue for posting this is astounding to me
liz
ok!?
Anna was somewhere saying: "we have to be relevant" then some dumb assistant on coke hurried up saying "Seeing pretty girls cry is always a safe choice". she took her sunnies down her nose and winked then they all continued partying
I used to have subscriptions to Vogue but not anymore.
They're obviously anticipating some sort of 'Me Too' in the fashion industry and this is for damage control.
liz maybe... just maybe... they’re trying to change.
And people wonder why skinny girls feel fat...
Emma Almind yup I’m at my heaviest weight witch is 112 and I feel like it’s a bad
models, not every skinny girl on the street
no mija so models r not considered as average people now? okayy...
Fatima Rahmetova that’s not what i meant. models feel fat because they are constantly looked at and they are alway told to lose weight. people don’t do that to any skinny girl in school or on the street. that’s what i meant
no mija it happens to a lot of people actually, especially with these skinny runway girls in the media being seen as “ideal” and “perfect”. my mom notices whenever i gain even a single pound, and a lot of my friends experience the same thing.
this is giving me the same energy as when spotify plays an ad about how ads are really annoying.
Omg yes
agreed lol
It makes me so sad that Gemma Ward was crying. She made me fall in love with fashion at 15, I thought she was the most stunning person I’d ever seen and I had pictures of her like cut out and plastered all over my high school art books.
She meant so much to me during this pretty rough time in my life so to realize she was also like hating her life, broke my heart
Yes she had lots of fans
She isssss
:(
She is also a talented actress and was in a movie called ‘Black Balloon’
Same, I thought she had it all when she was modeling for Chanel and everything when in fact she was in a nightmare.
its ironic to watch this on Vogue channel
Indeed.
They look "woke", by doing this, but you know the industry is unlikely to change their ways.
my thoughs exactly!
Exactly
They are trying to change, it's not as easy as we think. Didn't you see the plus size edition? That's progress
Me too!!
Let's just pretend that vogue magazine isn't full of starving models
i know right such a fake way of them telling us one thing and then doing the other
Some people just eat healthy diet and loose weight. Not all models starve.😊
I think that's the point...for us to pretend like how they are
@@shellylifshin6703 but they're underweight, that's the point. Not healthy...
@Stella S. At 15 the adults responsible for them (parents) Put them in the place to be exploited. Just because a teenager wants something they shouldn't necessarily have it. The older females? Well.....
My grandma was a model in the 70s. She just says she quit. She refuses to talk about it.
You should try to get words out of her, it’d be a good learning experience
Sowmya B That is a good idea. I will try and talk to her about it. I just don't want make her feel forced.

@@iluvduvcamz yeah... but isn’t it sad and wrong that the ideal body type can only be achieved by starvation
that must be heartbreaking
@@gabrielaegas9965 grammar isint the problem here 😘
@@lanbee9116 it was a problem tho
As someone who struggled with anorexia and still has body issues, I really liked this video. When I scrolled down and saw Vogue posted it, I about laughed out loud at the sheer nerve of them. They perpetrate this very ideal and issue.
i completely agree, it was last year, i was 13 and heavily struggled with bulimia and body dysmorphia. this idea is a great concept but the fact that a vogue posted it and basically fuels this industry is repulsive. however, vogue does have plus sized models. but i don’t see my body type displayed it’s either plus sized or literally stick slim.
Exactly!!!
@@mckennaecker7253 im really sorry i hope you are better sending my love xx
exactly!! i hope you’re doing better 💖
*perpetuate but yeah I agree
Why pressure models to be so skinny when they just end up photo shopping them anyways?
Runaway
It's coz of runways. Coz eventually their face won't matter as they have makeup with weird designs but at the end the body is left so they just force these models to go thin and thin.
Also it is easier to add curves then to take them off. They just want to have something to build of really. It is so sad. Why not just embrace the curves, right?
@@biashoji1099 yaa true
I SCREAMED YES QUEEN YESYESYESYESYES
Gemma Ward's segment is the part that broke me, tbh. I'm a guy, I've had my own body insecurity issues, whatever. But to see Gemma's situation unfold at the age that I did was just absolutely heartbreaking. She was going through so much, and to get shamed about her body in the midst of it felt so heartbreaking to watch. Women never get the luxury of being mediocre. The luxury of being average. We keep talking about how "oh, it's so awesome, women who are curvy are having their moment" but never the conversation of women being more than their bodies. Women are beyond their bodies. Gemma was more than her physique. She was a human being, and it's so heartbreaking to know that she was at her most vulnerable when the story about her broke out.
beautifully said.
As a dude, I agree.
exactly, we need more men like u
Thank you
People need to hear and say this more
Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to explain this to my brother. Men have the luxury of being seen for their character and who they are; women don’t.
I notice the difference in how I’m treated by men when I’m skinny vs. normal weight. Like a human being, and invisible. It’s heartbreaking and if you are a man, please consider treating all women with decency and respect.

Models should be intelligent enough to know that ...its their job...no one forces them.
@@Aurora-qn2dx some models are actually forced they start working and then lose control of their life because of their strict rules, even when they are pregnant they are starved
@@Aurora-qn2dx I don’t think you can fully prepare yourself for how it feels to be constantly judged and criticised
@@Aurora-qn2dx then it looks to me that you have never seen a model through their point of view
but they are drawn to the industry and they also had the desire...?
“They have to fit in the sample sizes!!” change the sample size.
the idea of sample size is so outdated to me too. like, yeah when runways was an event that just started off it made sense to have a staple sample size to more easily transport the clothing, but with fashion and runways being a multi billion dollar industry they absolutely can afford to alter sample sizes or have more size diverse runways. and the reality is the primary consumers buying these luxury or couture clothing arent stick thin. they come in various sizes so idk why it would be such a big deal to have models that actually represent the sizes of the consumer base.
j p modeling should not be like that then??? this pressure literally fuels eating disorders and body dysmorphia. it. kills. people. yes it is a business, but maybe we should be caring more about human beings than money.
MAX I half agree and half disagree with what you’re saying. Of course they could alter the sizes, but why would they? It’s easier for them to have one size.
j p why do WE have to accommodate to the sometimes unhealthy measurements so you want everyone to be a size 0??
@j p i never said it should be easy. but modeling is literally to show different items of clothing and accessories on people to advertise. what's the point of making all the models a size 00 if their clothes come in all different sizes?
I feel like vogue is doing this videos bc its trendy to be woke, they 100% know more
Are you implying that "Vogue" is cynically exploiting the "me too" movement for there own financial gains?
Shocking...
Yup
bingo!
Couldn't agree more with you.

I actually didnt get why the fact people are mad
I was working as a flight attendant and one day Gemma Ward was on my flight. I didn’t tell anybody cuz she was with her husband and kids. She was modest, so responsible of her kids and beautiful without any makeup. It killed my heart to see her cry here:(
Did she fly business?
Does that matter? @@alisalexter4072
And guess what? The Vogue covers we see in the future will still feature tons of skinny models .
It's fine to have skinny models too! Some people are naturally thin. Any body type deserves to be on the cover of vogue :)
Cause bones sell and flesh don't. Or does it? Sales would increase if they focused on beauty. The bigger girls looked pretty stunning to me. Looking at beauty makes me happy. Looking at starving sad girls doesn't.
my mom said I looked better than Patryk 👍
Vogue switched to celeb covers years ago and has featured all sized people on the covers.
@Lynette Scribner Was Cindy Crawford a stick? The 90's models looked like women, not prepubescent little girls. Who are these designers designing for? Grown up women. They buy the clothes. Women come in all shapes and sizes. They should be celebrated and designers need to get with the times or fade away. That's why Victoria Secret is losing customers. The same will happen to high fashion.

How is vogue gonna post this video when they are one of the main perpetuators of this unhealthy body image
It's called being on trend.
Maybe they want to change
South Florida Yacht Charters oh for sure they do. I just worry that the motive behind this change is centered more around publicity rather than their genuine desire to promote positive body image. It seems they are just keeping up with popular opinion
Okay this is a bit offense cause I have this measurers by myself. Never trained for it. And you say that’s “unhealthy”?
Lotte Lot nahhh dawg like actually not what I’m saying at all. By unhealthy body image I mean the idea that 1 particular body type is the standard of beauty and consistently only portraying that body type. I can see how the phrasing in my original comment can be confusing. At the end of the day beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Why are there no average size models. There’s never someone with my shape/size (36-38). It’s either skinny or plus size 😕
@@vanillaicecream9026 the us standards are crazy in my opinion 38 is perfect size 36 is so skinny 40 42 44 are curvier but not fat
It’s called sample size, designers only hire models who fit into that sample size to showcase.
You want obese models? Good luck! Even the plus size are a size 10 and air brushed. 😂😂😂😂
38 or 36 is NOT the perfect size and you know it. Shame on you to try to make other women look ugly so you can feel better about yourself.

Dave Daniels, Explain? Sorry but the way you worded that sounded like you’re defending the people encouraging weight-loss eating disorders.

Or we destroy it by not eating enough too much causing health issues.

All of these models are heartbreaking not just her
@@inhetbos It was awful, honestly what happened to her was disgusting. She gained weight and when she appeared at a Chanel show in a denim swimsuit a lot of media put her on the front cover and said she was fat. The Daily Mail was particularly vicious, they called her "roll model".

I'm striving to become a fashion designer and if I'm successful and run my own business, I want my models to be healthy and not stick thin and anorexic looking.
Btw not all models are really thin, but lots of runway models are.
Me too!
Just keep in mind that there are healthy women who, as you said, are """stick thin"""... Be careful using those words, they are just as hurtful as the ones ignorant people use to describe "plus-size" women. A lot of women are genetically more thin (thin-thin btw, or in your words ""stick thin""; not the "perfect ideal skinny" people seem to love), just like a lot of women are genetically more "fat". People should be very careful, because when trying to fix a problem they may create another one. More body diversity for sure needed, but don't exclude """stick thin""" healthy women just because they don't fit with your ideals of beauty... that's exactly the problem you're trying to fix that "plus-size" women have... but, maybe without being aware of it, you're contributing to the same problem the other way around... Thin women are seen as unattractive cuz they're not within the "ideal body type", and your comment proves it...
@@BrunaSantos-kq4pd I agree with you, I'm not a model but I'm very thin, that's my genetic, im healthy, im not underweight and I often get comments like "you should eat more" "you look like an skeleton" "you look anorexic" "you shouldn't exercise, you're going to disappear" "real woman have curves" and those kind of things also hurt you and make you feel insecure about your body, it makes me a little bit sad seeing some people in the comments taking the body positive mesaage wrong and shaming thinner bodies :/
america soto I go through the exact same thing... what people don’t understand is how bad it makes us feel. People wrongly make comments about us exercising, when doctors tell us we have to do it in order go gain weight/muscle. I don’t like wearing dresses and skirts (even though I like them) because of what people say and think about my body. It’s awful... And sometimes it feels like body positivity is a one way thing, because I see a lot of people praising it and then talking badly about our body type... because “we’re unattractive”, “we don’t have any curves”, “all they see is bones”, etc etc... It makes me feel like sh*t
I shall give you my full support.
Gemma Ward's influence in fashion is still felt until this day. She really was a modern day supermodel. Sad to think how much it traumatised her .
I remember how terribly Gemma Ward was dragged... I thought it was unfair then, and I still think so now. I'm glad she's speaking up.

@@clownko9773 obviously but young people are going to be more vulnerable

When I was in year 5 (I think 4th grade) a girl in my class, Emily, was forced to be a child model by her mother. She wasn’t allowed to eat lunch, and she only told me that. She was extremely skinny and her mother had the audacity to call her “fat pig” in front of the whole class. It’s heartbreaking bc her mother is using her for money, and Emily is trying so hard to get out of it. She is in 7th grade now, and I heard she has extreme depression. This needs to stop

I concur
Megan Hughes this is amazing!
I blame it to South-Korea and especially those toxic western K-Pop fans!!
Vogue does have very thin unhealthy looking models in their magazines
Megan Hughes right
It just seems modelling completely screws these girls up. They're deemed as some of the most beautiful women in the world, yet the self hatred, distorted body image, and mental health issues they gained in this industry sticks with them years after the cameras stop flashing....
Well all the jobs that come with fame screw people up most of the time. Think about it. Violinist,modell,actress, celeb ect. The two usually come togeather. You have to be very smart And have to have a very balanced life And bacround to deel with the pressure of even being known by the world
@@hannak.79 Violinist was quite a random one to add there?!? 🤔 Lol
Well any solo musician who is big
If she’s doing it smart than she will be ok. People just have to keep it in mind that modelling is really hard and since it is about YOU it can really hurts your soul to be rejected. You just have to be there for her and help her stay confident
@Charise Bejarano Aww bless you. I think be honest with her, that way it will open her eyes as to what to look out for, and so she can go into it with her eyes wide open. Maybe just start the conversation with,,,,, 'I wouldn't be a true friend if I didn't tell you how I was feeling, because I love you and want the best for you....'
I'm sure she'd appreciate you looking out for her :-)
wow i am soooo sad about gemma ward. as a teen, i thought she was the epitome of beauty and had no idea she was going through any of this. i really wish the best for her
I literally started crying when I saw Gemma. I remember that Chanel show, she looked beautiful. But people criticized her for her weight and turned their backs on her. I am very happy that she has found tranquility because she is very beautiful outside and inside.
btw, practice what you preach, you literally have the power to change EVERYTHING
Amen . C'mon @vogue change the standards of beauty you help create.
a magazine that made so many girls and even boys self conscious about their body posts a video like that? i love the message, but this is not enough
omg gemma ward is such an angel... I remember being like 14 on Tumblr seeing her pictures everywhere, she always looked so ethereal
It breaks my heart to see Gemma hurt so badly. She was and is a beautiful person inside and out.
my mom modeled in California when she was 16, standing at 5’9 she weighed 120 pounds. They told her that she needed to lose weight because she wasn’t thin enough, she told me she only ate two bowls of cereal a day. After she lost weight she was sexually assaulted and that’s when she decided enough was enough. It breaks my heart everyday knowing she had to go through this.
power to your Mother! power to you Kay!
No! That would be way too thin. 120lbs at 5ft 9 is very slim but given your mum was 16 was probably healthy at the time. No need to lose more. It's like a drug isn't it? The models get thinner the powers that be want more off. As a person who has battled eating disorders for 40 years, I despair this is allowed to happen.
She didn’t have to go through it.. she chose to pursue modeling
@@georgiareed7743 Okay, but that shouldn’t have happened. You clearly don’t seem to get the point of that comment and judging by your other comments, you are clearly a very ignorant and dumb person.

Lost for words.... how can Vogue show curvy models on the cover of their magazine at the end and imply that everything is fine now and they no longer support this behaviour.... such performative activism
Vogue never cared before, why now?
Lauren Jane it’s called evolving
@@KatEssex it's a trend.
Realized they will bait a lot of woke millenials and gain better views
Because body positivity is a trend, because they have run out of ideas and because the market of larger sizes is growing internationally.
for views and cuz its trending
I remember Gemma being extremely skinny, then she came back fuller at the Chanel show in a bikini.... so sad she was bullied.
I may be wrong but wasn't it also around the time that Heath Ledger died? They were dating at the time, so cruel to mock someone going through such heartache and grief.
When Gemma cried she broke my heart
I can’t believe that those wonderful women could see themselves ugly
Well the magic touch of moon power full make up makes women look so young and ten times more dramatically beautiful that the original face would feel as if ten times uglier than the enhanced makeup looks. It's simply just a feel you have relatively, so don't get too stressed by such a psychological formula. Find some more sources of attractions then
I was a teen model in the 90's and was told I needed to lose weight. I was already a size 6 Australian which is like a size 0 i think American. I was told my thighs needed slimming yet they did not touch. My nickname among my friends was praying mantis I was so skinny. So after my agent snubbed his nose up at my body and told me that other models sometimes go without meals and i heard other models who were purging and injecting between their toes I walked away for good at aged 19. I am now a teacher I am glad I walked away I am much happier but those few years being judged did do damage to my self-confidence.
I really hope you're good now. Take care of yourself ♡
@Sanpakueyes123 😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Hey, what about male models?? Every story I see is only about female models. I wanna be a model in the near future perhaps but how is the male model industry????
injecting what??
Edwin Kandjii male models aren't encouraged to be as dangerously skinny, so people talk about female ones more often
I tried out for modelling at 17. I was 5'8 and 116lbs but the agent told me to lose 10 more lbs. The worst part was my mom agreed with her. So i made myself throw up and ended up in a rubber room for 2 months. This is so sad.
Lux Vella wow :( omg bebe I hope ur ok
Lux Vella 😭❤️
Omg what!!!😨😨 your weight seemed fine for your height omg I’m so sorry you went through that🥺🥺
Oh dear :( I hope you're feeling more healthy now 💚💚
I am so sorry. That is awful. I hope you’re doing okay now
this reminds me of when barbara palvin was being criticized some years ago bc she´s rather curvy and they were saying she´s fat, when she just grew... out of puberty
the girl named myla couldnt look straight into the camera, this must've hurt so much for her
These poor girls have been so exploited. So basically the modeling industry are PIMPS?!
They choose to be models
They chose to do this correct
Yes they are pimped out to Hollywood actors and aristocrats
@@falloutgirl902 Pimped out hmm ? All these horror stories and accusations by models etc , yet women still want to be models . What part of the message is being lost or not getting thru ?
So when will the mass walk out happen ? You know the models walking off the job , till condition's change
Seeing Gemma Ward crying absolutely broke my heart.
Lol first world problems majoryl I can think of far more heart breaking things to cry about
you have no idea and no right to talk unless you have been a part of this horrifying industry.@@hansmdinkermaniiv1665

I understand their pain. Im tall, 5'10" and have always felt pressure to be model thin. At my lowest weight I was maybe 120 pounds which is very underweight for my height. Ive had an eating disorder since I was 17. Im 38 now and just finally starting to feel like I'm beginning to be free of this beast. Its very hard.
Thank god Im not the only one to see the hypocrisy here😂😂😂
Absolutely empathize with these models but Vogue is so cashing in on the body positivity movement.
asdabir
cashing on it being positive or negative
Even if they are, there still helping the cause, building up consciousness.
Body positivity movement is based on profits. Everything is money... body positivity movement is profiting off of selling more clothes, so, something like that...
Yup I bet even Vogue's unpaid interns are hired based on their weight, age and overall appearance.
My kids: 'what does ironic mean?'
Me: 'lemme show you something'
As someone who struggled with a eating disorder since she was 14 till I was about 20 and sometimes no I still struggle. I feel so hard for this women, it made me actually cry.
I met Gemma Ward a few years ago and she was so, so sweet. But she was also so quiet. I wonder how much of that was a result of Vogue shaming her.
To my eyes it's still fine. They just simply wanted to hate her.
Victoria’s Secret has left the chat…
It's funny when people say VS models are curvy and high fashion models are anorexic. I mean VS made Behati skinnier than she ever were in HF lol
VS models actually look like they eat something
VS models are strong and have a lot of weigh training. "high fashion" models are about skin an bones.
I think modelling should include all bodies and not force you to lose weight and say you are unusable because you are not skinny. All shapes and sizes should be accepted along with ages to it is just sick what models go through to get the "perfect body". Your body is perfect!!😄
No
Only healthy ranges, plus sized obese seen today should not be glamourised, neither anorexia.
The way Myla just started breaking down, goodness, it breaks my heart because that shame others inflicted on you never does truly go away, all we can do is try our best and better our habits.
"Their job, is being looked at" - Billie Eilish
uwu im 14 and this is deep uwu
Flamoof yeah but they know what they sign up for (in the sense that they know that they’re being looked at) I don’t think there’s a problem with wanting to be a model
What a great philosopher ...
U did not just quote-
Wow truly inspirational 🤩🤩🤩. Wow Billie’s so deep she’s such a great philosopher.
Vogue went way too soft on this... basically lightly brushing the subject just enough to seem 'woke'. And that pat in the back they gave themselves in the end with the overweight models as if Fashion is now Past This. Please. 🙄
MesRevesEnRose You’re so right.
3:02 Sis if you’re saying that AND you’re crying it IS a big deal. I feel bad for like all the girls
These models are beautiful! Just to be clear: beautiful doesn't always mean skinny it means being yourself. The defintion of beautiful is being unique
I am pretty much the same age as Gemma Ward. Growing up, she's been one of my favourite models and I'd always look up to her for being so beautiful and successful. It was such a revelation to see her talking in this series. Thank you, Vogue and Gemma for the stories.
She's the reason I know about high fashion. I hope she's not hurt by the industry anymore. Love you Gemma
Well first: the irony and hypocrisy of you posting this is through the roof.
Second: The reason the modeling industry isn’t as diverse with their sizes is because all of the clothes are a specific size so the models have to all fit into that size. I personally think that we could make a more reasonable measurements the ideal of the clothing fit so that we don’t have these beautiful people at an unhealthy state of mind and weight
Mrs. Nightmare you are so on point!
The ppl who make the clothes arent perfect and stick skinny like the clothing they make , which is disturbing. How do ppl enable these things in the world . but it will always keep happening.
well said👌🏽
so so true. clothing should be made to fit people, not the other way around.
so correct
THERE IS NO PERFECT BODY, BE HAPPY WITH WHATEVER SIZE YOU WEAR. ITS CLOTHES, CLOTHES DON’T DETERMINE HOW GOOD OF A PERSON YOU ARE. BEAUTY IS SO MUCH MORE THAN SKIN DEEP, BEAUTY IS YOUR SOUL, YOUR ESSENCE.
As a teen I absolutely adored Gemma Ward. I had a folder with her photos. For me, her videos and appearance, she seemed like an angel. When the whole thing about her being fat came out, I couldn't believe it. For me she was this angel looking alien and who were those people who had the courage to body shame this angel? Gemma love you! You still have this innocence about you and truly are as beautiful as always
Seeing Gemma Ward be so raw and vulnerable absolutely broke my heart, to this day she’s still one of my favourite models and I miss seeing her on the covers of magazines
She is a legend. I was so happy when one of my boys booked a campaign with her
now i wanna start a company, modeling, use people of ALL shapes. sizes, colors, religion, etc. so that everyone feels welcomed and just happy being themselves
but i’m only 13💀
Well it could be in your future 😊
The Problem are not the agency. It’s the customer. I am also in a model agency and they hate the fact that we always have to be this skinny... But when we’re not skinny we don’t get any jobs. Your Idea is good, but these models won’t get any jobs... :(
Tehe maybe you are a friend/family member can design one for the future :) it’s never too early to start!
Start a modeling agency on how to model a better heart and soul instead of what you look like
Pleaseeeee I can’t be a model bc I’m 4’11
I coveted Gemma’s Teen Vogue issue! For me it wasn’t about her weight-I just loved her energy. It breaks my heart to see her cry because she was such a bright light for me!
Soooo crazy to see Gemma Ward in here crying 😿 She was my absolute favorite model! She was so unique looking ✨
I remember when Gemma was so publically shamed for her weight, in all the tabloids, etc. So vicious.
but what happened? i didn’t understand it someone explain please
She walked the Chanel spring 2008 show in a swimsuit looking like a healthy girl, but standing next to these younger and thinner girls, the press had a field day. She was going through a lot at that time in her life tho.
paula rudi she happened to gain a bit of weight because she was becoming a woman, she was only 20 years old at the time. She was a healthy girl when the press started to turn on her
Mickaël Valli I’m not sure if this is true and have heard nothing of this, he was one of the few designers that would still cast gemma at that time
I remember this too. Ali Michaels and Gemma Ward were all over Teen Vogue back in the day as an "it" girl - then suddenly, one day. *poof* gone. I recall being a huge fan of them back in high school. Ali Michaels was known for her thick brows and Gemma for her "alien" beauty and being confused when i could no longer see them in subsequent issues.
Poor Gemma Ward. It is criminal how the fashion industry treated her.
Liza Bright
she got the best and the worst
And yet she still went back...
@@pagethreemodel Basic abuse dynamic.
@@lizabright8940 true. Anyway they're disgusting for how they did her. The fashun industry is a cesspool.
What actually happened??
I have never got a job before cuz im a student yet being a model, wearing luxurious clothes and walking fiercely on runway have always been my DREAM. Yet, watching this makes me think again abt it. I can feel the hurt and pressures they had. I also appreciate my mom and all people can survive in the competitive job market also.
I remember Ali Michael and Gemma Ward being “thinspo” for me growing up. Very unhealthy state of mind that I had as a young adult. Crazy to see that they were also in the same position of never being ok with their bodies. Because I saw them as perfect.

I LOVE YOU GEMMA WARD! An icon of the modelling scene. How they treated you when you were only NINETEEN was disgusting. You've alwways looked amazing. Queen of the 2000s.
I wish I could hug these girls. There’s so much pain there. I hope they’ve healed.
Vogue you're giving incredibly mixed signals. You're literally perpetuating the problem.
I feel like Myla is talking about victoria secret
i thought the same
100%
That came to my mind as well
if its victoria secret they wouldnt tell her 1 month before… but 3/4/5 months before
@@indiakees9687 not for the casting
gemma ward :( my dear we love you
I loved her as a teenager. Heart breaking to see she was in a horrible place.
nobullshitbeauty she seems so child like in their
To all those that have felt like I have since age 14 not perfect " enough ( but my skin is fine) #❤️❤️❤️❤️
AN INTERVIEW OF GEMMA WARD. The entire video should of been about her and her story.
-"Did you get it?" -"...No"
The pain...omg
