I am not in the mood to be a consumer. It is stage of life (middle age), I am not anyone's target market (too old and not wealthy enough), and am worried about money.
My mother was a costume designer for many well known entertainers and she always told me the only reason skinny was ever in style was not because it was the most attractive look, but because it is much easier to design for a stick figure than to have to come around curves period….So designers have long pushed the Twiggy look down the runway simply for their own convenience.
There are a few skinny girls with bigger bus or bigger bottoms, but for the most part people at a certain size tend to fall into a very small range of silhouettes, especially when you are using girls in the same height. Once a girl is over a certain size, she starts having curves and depending on where your genetics have the fat in your body place this can create a bunch of different body types. Like I’m a size 2 I can usually ask a girl who’s a size too to borrow her stuff no problem. Or a size 0 or even a size 4 . When I was a size 12, asking to borrow a size 12 was a lot more difficult because they were such a variance
@@SuperDacob Yes indeed!… And this greed has caused much suffering, poor health, and even death among models and consumers starving for so called “Style” and a silly and often unobtainable commercial ideal!
Regarding the last part of the video, I was a huge online shopper until mid-last year when I realized that I had WAY TOO MUCH CLOTHES I WAS NOT WEARING. SO I stopped shopping, cold turkey. Wouldn't you know it, I started receiving emails from Nordstrom, Lands End, Old Navy, Macy's and othe online stores that started with the following words: "We haven't heard from you in a while! These pieces were chosen specially for you!" They should have just come and say that "We miss your money. Keep shopping." Or maybe they did. Either way, another brilliant , entertaining and informative video from the Great Dacob!!!
I’m surprised you don’t have at least a million followers! Seriously! Flabbergasted! Such an entertaining style. Like chatting to a friend in my living room. Love your content!
@@jonnyfendi2003 Why go for such extremes... I have read that Gigi Hadid was not invited to YSL shows, because she would not fit into the presented garments. And now tell me, do you think people would buy stuff presented by Gigi Hadid?
Soooo...I'm 5'11" with a large muscular frame--thanks to my warrior king ancestors--so even when I'm thin, I'm not tiny. I tried to play that "thin game" in my 20's, got really sick, officially anorexic, killed my metabolism, was hospitalized, and then put on bed rest. I'm in my 60's now and I'm not inclined to put myself through that again. Radiant good health is FAR more important to me now. I DO have weight I'd like to lose, but not at the risk of my health...or to use a drug that can/will paralize my internal organs so that I can no longer digest my food, absorb the nutrients in my food, or eliminate waste in a normal way. What kind of nonsense IS that??? Thank the Good Lord I learned to sew...and then He placed a former DC couturier in my path years ago after college who had sewn for the White House elite in the '50's, '60's, and '70's...back when tailored elegance was de rigueur. She taught me the methods. Even if I'm not uber-thin, this summer, I'm investing my time into me, and creating a wardrobe worthy of Mademoiselle Chanel. Screw these folks who think they control fashion. I control my wallet!!!
Me, except I'm 5'7". Back in the day, I could never be tiny like Kate Moss because my frame size is just large. No warrior kings in my line (as far as I know), I'm just built like a linebacker, lol.
It is noticeable that stretch marks are highlighted on more curvy models, especially seen in lingerie ads. Overspillage & rolls too, but this noticeably digitally smoothed & removed on the less well-endowed models. Even thin people have flesh that creases and folds in certain postures. Proportions stretched out too. I’ve even spotted a hastily edited double hipbone on the side of one image😂
I specifically remember Jasmine Tookes the Victoria’s Secret angel having stretch marks in one of their Christmas campaigns. She was wearing some emerald green lingerie. And that was the first time I think I’ve ever seen stretch marks on a model. Though I don’t think models at a smaller size have spillage. There’s just not a lot of body fat. Spillage usually starts happening at about 26-30% body fat and these models are usually somewhere in between 15 and 20%. You can be skinny and have a high body fat percentage and be skinny fat. Like terra Reed when she was drinking a lot. But models usually don’t have that just because the nature of the business.
^ nope. look at a super model bend her stomach forward. totally misinformed about how we all have fat. Now watch that same model bend forward in low rise jeans! I’m underweight n skinny. You don’t see them in these positions cause they wouldn’t be caught dead w rolls. The point is that w fuller women they acentúate the “ugly” while for skinny, they act like it doesn’t exist. And you bought it lol.
It's hilarious that people keep saying thin is back in. Like its a new thing. Thin has never been out. Thin will AWLWAYS be in. I'm 51, it's been a part of my reality since birth. You either deal with it or you don't. And as Dacob said, you can always choose to speak with your pocketbook!
I'm naturally thin as well. But... BUT ... I'm actually trying to gain weight now :) I'm 45, 5'6 and my goal weight is 125. I am currently at 112. Sometimes I don't like the way I look from being too thin
I have a very skinny friend - she has two children and is still tiny- its genetics- people can be so mean to her about her weight- she eats like a horse and just walks for health- but she looks damn good in her clothes tho… I am not plus size (6-8 us) and muscular but I am considered a hefer!🤣🤣🤣 Just wait- when they stop taking Ozempic- the regular sizes will be back
So say, size ten is a plus size? How about size fourteen? What if we can't afford ozempic? or we can't medically take it? I can't. I can't afford luxury but if I did, I would expect the brand to make it to my measurements.
Good point. So I can tell you what Chanel offered to their bigger customers in the past. (Not sure if they still offer this service though as of 2025) They manufacture pret a porter garments up to a French size 50. If a client wanted a pret a porter item bigger than a size 50 then Chanel would charge 30% on top of the retail price but would then manufacture the item in a size bigger than a size 50. For the haute couture clients, Chanel makes each item measured to the exact shape of the customer so when it comes to haute couture, Chanel still makes all possible sizes as long as the customer has a lot of money to spend. Haute couture prices easily jump into the 100k+ price tags for total looks.
You should read the book primates of Park Avenue. I feel like it delves into the sociology of fashion and weight quite a bit. And there’s also a book called very important people that’s sociology. Look at the nightclub life and how it intersect with the modeling industry and models, so it talks about a lot of the same things. For the most part people who are wearing these designer clothes are not fat. And they don’t want to be and they will do everything they can to not be. If you are a fashion lover, and you love this topic, please check out those books because honestly, I could not put them down. And now I just am obsessed with the topic.
i think the average "plus size " model is a size 12/14 going down the runway, right now. Most of those top models are also promoting them living a healthier lifestyle. On their IG theyre hiking, eating well, traveling, etc. Ashley Graham especially.
Are they actually that size? Or do they force feed themselves and then wear fat pads? Because that’s really common too. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were being marketed as size 12 or 14 but they were actually smaller. Because I have noticed that they tend to do that with the smaller models. I’m a size 2 I can tell when someone’s a size 2. And sometimes I look on these website and I’m like that person is so much skinnier than I am, but when you look at the measurements or the size listed for that item, it’ll say the model is a size 4. They always say the model is a size 4.
I was naturally very skinny until I hit my late 30's. So thin that people kept telling me that if I was taller I could have been a model. I topped out at 5'4'' so that was never in the cards for me. I will never get that thin again and I'm fine with that. As a menopausal woman in her mid 50's I am realistic as to what my body can and can't do. I wish more women knew that it is okay to not look like a stick figure.
The shortest runway model was 5’5” I believe. Devon Aoki (sister to the famous DJ Steve Aoki). I think the next shortest was Kate Moss at 5’7”. I always thought all models were 5’9” and taller until some years ago when a fashion article popped up and I was wrong. Just sharing a fun fact. ☺️
Thanks for using your platform for protecting the most vulnerable in that ugly industry called modeling . that has the same ephose and vocabulary than prostitution.
As a naturally skinny person, I’m really sick and tired of hearing my body type be ridiculed and villainized and people thinking it’s acceptable. This double standard of not mocking overweight folks but it’s ok to mock skinny folks is messed up. What ultimately matters is the functionality of a body. I’m thankful to have a body that functions and does what I need it to do. Sorry if I don’t have the gigantic thunder thighs that have been trendy as of late, my legs carry me everywhere I need to go and I’m thankful for that. If you don’t like the way skinny women look, that’s your problem, not ours. That being said, using pharmaceuticals to starve yourself skinny is obviously not cool.
Nan Li said “Paris celebrates elitism, and elitism means skinny and white." Can you imagine a French person or any European working in Asia saying “China celebrates elitism and elitism means skinny and Chinese”. Think about it…
i dont know if i agree with paris as the elitism thing anymore. Ive seen a few japanese and south korean brands and theyre taking the models that paris fashion week use to have. T
For sure they don’t care about you and just the money. I’ve come to the point where I don’t really care so much about these luxury brands anymore. Maybe it’s middle age. Bought into the marketing a lot when I was younger but not now. Quality gone down and also the demographic they’re aiming for is the younger crowd.
I personally don't like the bigger models. I like seeing the clothes in their most ideal situation, on a perfect body. High fashion is supposed to be a fantasy & aspirational. Nobody wants to see their everyday life up on the runway, they want to be transported in a fantasy.
@@TomikaKelly Depending on what do you mean by bigger. I don't know anybody who is aspiring to have a body like Tess Holiday. Unless we are talking about fringe fat positive activists. I'm not thin, but obese models always discouraged me from buying the clothes, especially when it comes to the fitness. Those obese Nike's models caused me to entirely skip the brand.
seeing thinness as "perfection", "aspirational" (and "healthy") is one of the main reasons eating disorders have been so widespread in recent years and why so many people have died as a result. luxury brands promoting this fantasy is nothing short of harmful, to everyday people and the models themselves.
I wore Maison Margiella tabis to a family get together and when eyebrows were raised I was asked to respond. "I want to combine my love of fashion with childhood fascination with ninjas! These are Maison Margielas and they are paired with a Junya Watanabe jacket and Vivienne Westwood 2-button thrall." I don't think anyone bought it, now I feel like a sort of eccentric. How do you handle unwanted attention for wearing interesting clothes, when all you want is admiration from afar? Thanks for any insight, Mr. Super Dacob!!!
i love Vivienne Westwood rocking horse shoe and its often worn with something called Gothic Lolita fashion, so I get it. its not for everyone. Its fun eccentric.
@@witchingbrew3 :) ok. you're right. I accept the fact that it is a little eccentric. The gothic lolita comment helped me see the reality of the situation and that it is wholly my own doing. I'll continue wearing what I be wearing.
I never wear clothes for others. I wear them for myself. So I owe nobody any explanations nor do I want or have the need to garner any admiration from near or afar. I do love Westwood’s Krall shirts, both two button and three button versions. When I get unwanted attention or comments for what I am wearing, I just ignore them and internally think to myself as I look back at the people criticizing me, gee, sorry that not everybody wants to look like they just came out of the toilette after they took a dump and not having showered for a week straight… lol
"gee, sorry that not everybody wants to look like they just came out of the toilette after they took a dump and not having showered for a week straight… lol" @@SuperDacob and that's why I love your channel brother :) thank you
Make body positivity great again? I work out. I'm not as obsessed as I used to be about it. I'm semi retired. I wear what I want. It's mostly LA vintage couture Crooks And Castles. Or, old uniform wear from jobs and outdoor gear. I have enough clothing for the rest of my life regardless. Fashion and style? Bah! Call me weird.
@@donovanberes you'd have to be 131 pounds at 5'11" to be considered underweight from what I'm seeing...🤔Even then that would barely be underweight according to bmi calculations
@crashnebula7 I was told 175 is the average weight for my height by my doctor. But regardless I’m the biggest size they carry which is crazy I wear a small bottoms when the waistband is stretchy
@@crashnebula7 I just googled I’m apparently ideal for male modeling lol ale Fashion Models Model Height Requirement: 5'11” to 6'2”. Model Weight Requirement: 140-165 lbs, directly proportional to height. Model Measurement Requirement: Waist between 29” and 32”
I’m 5’2” and a muscular 115 lbs. I wear S, XS, 4-6, but mostly 6 petite, if I can find petite clothes. It seems like all I can find are L, XL, and plus size clothes. There is never anything left for me when clothes go on sale. 😩 I shop in Atlanta.
It's just reality, clothes look better on thin models (unless it's swimwear or underwear where athletic bodies are obviously more aesthetic). The mainstream Media is far too obsessed with models - but fashion-lovers are all about the clothes. Givenchy's legendary designs would have looked ridiculous on a full-figured woman - Audrey Hepburn's stick arms and legs were all part of the look. To hell with what the general public thinks about "body positivity". Models are simply clothes hangers. Having said that, I do acknowledge there is a problem with young women (and increasingly young men) viewing fashion models ideals - and some models show obvious signs of eating disorders and body dysmorphia.
Clothes look better on the person who is wearing it. 🤡 I've seen both Naomi Campbell and Ashley Graham look amazing and also less than stellar in certain outfits. Not every thin person has the same shape, and not every plus sized person has the same shape.
@@TomikaKelly Point taken. I don't personally have a problem with a larger body type - I agree, if the designer has designed for a particular body type, a thin model might look wrong. But let's be totally honest, mainstream fashion is pretty generic - you don't see many big girls at Chanel shows. On the other extreme is the "freaky models" - I like watching Balenciaga and Rick Owens shows ....but some of those models do look intimidatingly weird.
Love to see you address this topic... this epidemic of using diabetes medicine without treating the actual causes of what causes us being fat! 😢 I feel like there's such a gap there in research cuz you know, this ozempic craze really show us that the actual problem is a lack of understanding in what causes us such metabolic compromises that makes us develop diabetes type 2 and such.... but it's very like "no, here, take this injectable and be done with it, just pay us $300+ a month for live and we good" :S ugh Gone on a rant, sorry bby... but this really gets under my skin!
It’s high glycemic carbohydrates that cause type 2 diabetes. Go on keto, it reversed my type 2. I haven’t been on any type of med in over a decade. Good luck. ❤
Well I don’t see as “normal” this new trend of big and anormal figures with bbl and overweight being romanticize, I think people going back to be skinny is better (healthy), cos people we do exist, very skinny and healthy people exist. And it’s hard to find clothes sometimes, so I hope 🤞🏻 other brands also make smaller sizes 😂 please we need clothes too!
skinny doesn't automatically mean healthy, and what you see as "overweight" isn't abnormal or automatically unhealthy either. ultimately body types and anatomy in general should never be made into a trend, period. the "trend" of being skinny has literally killed people who tried achieving a "healthy" low weight that their body simply wasn't built for. (even if the same weight is healthy for another person's body) likewise, though on an infinitely smaller scale, the trendification of curviness is what killed people who've passed away from bbl's. neither "trend" is good to begin because our bodies are just too different for one ideal to be able to exist without repercussions.
Lmaoooo you can’t blame everything in the sphere of weight loss on a drug anymore than you can blame everything person who is fat on just not being able to put the damn cookies down and not going to the gym tho. Also a lot of the clothing right now is baggy and shapeless. I mean look at what you’re wearing 🤷🏻♂️
....but he didn't blame everything in the sphere of weight loss on a drug...🤔 He merely used a drug as an example, as it is prevalent right now. The school system where you live must be abysmal because comprehension is crucial, yet you're acting like the child that got left behind. 😬
@@TomikaKellyI get that all you guys wanna band together but that’s where he started the video. He said on the video that it’s the drug the drug the drug. Did you even watch the video??? He didn’t say it was an example. He directly quotes people talking about Ozempic.
Guys lets face it THIN IS IN- ITS NEVER GONA BE A TREND TO BE SKINNY cause its always in style. Thank god, all this inclusive mumbo jumbo is whack. When I first saw the big girls on a Versace runway in 2021, I remember feeling my body astro project off itself. The trans girls (if we can call them that) are ok, as long as they are skinny. Bring back heroin chic. Or just heroin or any drug induced death around the eyes works in my eyes.❤
I am not in the mood to be a consumer. It is stage of life (middle age), I am not anyone's target market (too old and not wealthy enough), and am worried about money.
Amen! ❤

It is noticeable that stretch marks are highlighted on more curvy models, especially seen in lingerie ads. Overspillage & rolls too, but this noticeably digitally smoothed & removed on the less well-endowed models. Even thin people have flesh that creases and folds in certain postures. Proportions stretched out too. I’ve even spotted a hastily edited double hipbone on the side of one image😂
I specifically remember Jasmine Tookes the Victoria’s Secret angel having stretch marks in one of their Christmas campaigns. She was wearing some emerald green lingerie. And that was the first time I think I’ve ever seen stretch marks on a model.
Though I don’t think models at a smaller size have spillage. There’s just not a lot of body fat. Spillage usually starts happening at about 26-30% body fat and these models are usually somewhere in between 15 and 20%.
You can be skinny and have a high body fat percentage and be skinny fat. Like terra Reed when she was drinking a lot. But models usually don’t have that just because the nature of the business.
^ nope. look at a super model bend her stomach forward. totally misinformed about how we all have fat. Now watch that same model bend forward in low rise jeans! I’m underweight n skinny. You don’t see them in these positions cause they wouldn’t be caught dead w rolls. The point is that w fuller women they acentúate the “ugly” while for skinny, they act like it doesn’t exist. And you bought it lol.
It's hilarious that people keep saying thin is back in. Like its a new thing. Thin has never been out. Thin will AWLWAYS be in. I'm 51, it's been a part of my reality since birth. You either deal with it or you don't. And as Dacob said, you can always choose to speak with your pocketbook!
I'm naturally thin as well. But... BUT ... I'm actually trying to gain weight now :) I'm 45, 5'6 and my goal weight is 125. I am currently at 112.
Sometimes I don't like the way I look from being too thin
My wide load has never fitted into ready to wear and my wallet rejoices in that fact ❤❤❤
Ha! I always said I'd have to be dead six weeks to fit into anything by a luxury fashion house.
I have a very skinny friend - she has two children and is still tiny- its genetics- people can be so mean to her about her weight- she eats like a horse and just walks for health- but she looks damn good in her clothes tho… I am not plus size (6-8 us) and muscular but I am considered a hefer!🤣🤣🤣 Just wait- when they stop taking Ozempic- the regular sizes will be back
you are so right.
So the reanimated corpse look is returning...great! Smgdh
Thank you, Dacob for another informative vlog.
So say, size ten is a plus size? How about size fourteen? What if we can't afford ozempic? or we can't medically take it? I can't. I can't afford luxury but if I did, I would expect the brand to make it to my measurements.
Good point. So I can tell you what Chanel offered to their bigger customers in the past. (Not sure if they still offer this service though as of 2025) They manufacture pret a porter garments up to a French size 50. If a client wanted a pret a porter item bigger than a size 50 then Chanel would charge 30% on top of the retail price but would then manufacture the item in a size bigger than a size 50. For the haute couture clients, Chanel makes each item measured to the exact shape of the customer so when it comes to haute couture, Chanel still makes all possible sizes as long as the customer has a lot of money to spend. Haute couture prices easily jump into the 100k+ price tags for total looks.

...but the bigger models are no less of a "fantasy", no less "aspirational", and no less of the "perfect body" than the other models...🤨
@@TomikaKelly Depending on what do you mean by bigger. I don't know anybody who is aspiring to have a body like Tess Holiday. Unless we are talking about fringe fat positive activists. I'm not thin, but obese models always discouraged me from buying the clothes, especially when it comes to the fitness. Those obese Nike's models caused me to entirely skip the brand.
seeing thinness as "perfection", "aspirational" (and "healthy") is one of the main reasons eating disorders have been so widespread in recent years and why so many people have died as a result.
luxury brands promoting this fantasy is nothing short of harmful, to everyday people and the models themselves.
I wore Maison Margiella tabis to a family get together and when eyebrows were raised I was asked to respond. "I want to combine my love of fashion with childhood fascination with ninjas! These are Maison Margielas and they are paired with a Junya Watanabe jacket and Vivienne Westwood 2-button thrall." I don't think anyone bought it, now I feel like a sort of eccentric. How do you handle unwanted attention for wearing interesting clothes, when all you want is admiration from afar? Thanks for any insight, Mr. Super Dacob!!!
i love Vivienne Westwood rocking horse shoe and its often worn with something called Gothic Lolita fashion, so I get it. its not for everyone. Its fun eccentric.
You owe no one an explanation. Buy & wear what brings you happiness. I find eclectic people more fascinating because they march to their own music.
@@witchingbrew3 :) ok. you're right. I accept the fact that it is a little eccentric. The gothic lolita comment helped me see the reality of the situation and that it is wholly my own doing. I'll continue wearing what I be wearing.
I never wear clothes for others. I wear them for myself. So I owe nobody any explanations nor do I want or have the need to garner any admiration from near or afar. I do love Westwood’s Krall shirts, both two button and three button versions. When I get unwanted attention or comments for what I am wearing, I just ignore them and internally think to myself as I look back at the people criticizing me, gee, sorry that not everybody wants to look like they just came out of the toilette after they took a dump and not having showered for a week straight… lol

and that's why I love your channel brother :) thank you
Skinny and white or skinny and asian.
Oompa Loompa 💀 I’m with you ✨
Make body positivity great again?
I work out. I'm not as obsessed as I used to be about it. I'm semi retired. I wear what I want. It's mostly LA vintage couture Crooks And Castles. Or, old uniform wear from jobs and outdoor gear. I have enough clothing for the rest of my life regardless.
Fashion and style? Bah!
Call me weird.
I hate my body too, but I sure as heck *don't* want to see clothes on someone who' looks way better! That'll really just make me feel worse.
Well said Dakob, well said 👏👏👏
The new Murakami belts only came in 3 sizes 90 being the largest. Thats my size and im considered under weight
For context I’m 5”11 and weigh 151 lbs
@@donovanberes you'd have to be 131 pounds at 5'11" to be considered underweight from what I'm seeing...🤔Even then that would barely be underweight according to bmi calculations
@crashnebula7 I was told 175 is the average weight for my height by my doctor. But regardless I’m the biggest size they carry which is crazy I wear a small bottoms when the waistband is stretchy
@@crashnebula7 I just googled I’m apparently ideal for male modeling lol
ale Fashion Models
Model Height Requirement: 5'11” to 6'2”. Model Weight Requirement: 140-165 lbs, directly proportional to height. Model Measurement Requirement: Waist between 29” and 32”
I’m a 31 lol
well, that's what happens when diversity, inclusivity is considered woke especially by certain political group
I’m 5’2” and a muscular 115 lbs. I wear S, XS, 4-6, but mostly 6 petite, if I can find petite clothes. It seems like all I can find are L, XL, and plus size clothes. There is never anything left for me when clothes go on sale. 😩 I shop in Atlanta.

Skinny and rich
It's just reality, clothes look better on thin models (unless it's swimwear or underwear where athletic bodies are obviously more aesthetic). The mainstream Media is far too obsessed with models - but fashion-lovers are all about the clothes. Givenchy's legendary designs would have looked ridiculous on a full-figured woman - Audrey Hepburn's stick arms and legs were all part of the look. To hell with what the general public thinks about "body positivity". Models are simply clothes hangers. Having said that, I do acknowledge there is a problem with young women (and increasingly young men) viewing fashion models ideals - and some models show obvious signs of eating disorders and body dysmorphia.
Clothes look better on the person who is wearing it. 🤡 I've seen both Naomi Campbell and Ashley Graham look amazing and also less than stellar in certain outfits. Not every thin person has the same shape, and not every plus sized person has the same shape.
@@TomikaKelly Point taken. I don't personally have a problem with a larger body type - I agree, if the designer has designed for a particular body type, a thin model might look wrong. But let's be totally honest, mainstream fashion is pretty generic - you don't see many big girls at Chanel shows. On the other extreme is the "freaky models" - I like watching Balenciaga and Rick Owens shows ....but some of those models do look intimidatingly weird.
Are you in the US? You're very interesting and you pronounce foreign words beautifullly.
The world is healing 😅
you're so cute i sware you made laugh
Set healthy boundaries ;)
Love to see you address this topic... this epidemic of using diabetes medicine without treating the actual causes of what causes us being fat! 😢 I feel like there's such a gap there in research cuz you know, this ozempic craze really show us that the actual problem is a lack of understanding in what causes us such metabolic compromises that makes us develop diabetes type 2 and such.... but it's very like "no, here, take this injectable and be done with it, just pay us $300+ a month for live and we good" :S ugh
Gone on a rant, sorry bby... but this really gets under my skin!
It’s high glycemic carbohydrates that cause type 2 diabetes. Go on keto, it reversed my type 2. I haven’t been on any type of med in over a decade. Good luck. ❤

Glad its going back to normal. Not everyone can be a model.
Its not going back to normal though… thats what I am saying in the video. 😅
Maybe to her she prefers skinny models and thats normal to her? @@SuperDacob
@@mthor2346it shouldn’t be normal though, anorexia is a medical issue
Especially not you, chile...🥴
I know you will Getty 100k

Well I don’t see as “normal” this new trend of big and anormal figures with bbl and overweight being romanticize, I think people going back to be skinny is better (healthy), cos people we do exist, very skinny and healthy people exist.
And it’s hard to find clothes sometimes, so I hope 🤞🏻 other brands also make smaller sizes 😂 please we need clothes too!
skinny doesn't automatically mean healthy, and what you see as "overweight" isn't abnormal or automatically unhealthy either.
ultimately body types and anatomy in general should never be made into a trend, period.
the "trend" of being skinny has literally killed people who tried achieving a "healthy" low weight that their body simply wasn't built for. (even if the same weight is healthy for another person's body) likewise, though on an infinitely smaller scale, the trendification of curviness is what killed people who've passed away from bbl's.
neither "trend" is good to begin because our bodies are just too different for one ideal to be able to exist without repercussions.
Balenciaga always solves that problem. Smart and brilliant design and usually oversized.
Nah. Balenciaga CREATES the problems and the dumb fall for it.
Nothing is more addictive than skinny my love. 😅 I’m still struggling, menopause weight and just getting fat breathing air. 😆😘😘😘Sandy
Lmaoooo you can’t blame everything in the sphere of weight loss on a drug anymore than you can blame everything person who is fat on just not being able to put the damn cookies down and not going to the gym tho. Also a lot of the clothing right now is baggy and shapeless. I mean look at what you’re wearing 🤷🏻♂️
you keep commenting you’re strange lmao
....but he didn't blame everything in the sphere of weight loss on a drug...🤔 He merely used a drug as an example, as it is prevalent right now.
The school system where you live must be abysmal because comprehension is crucial, yet you're acting like the child that got left behind. 😬
@@TomikaKellyI get that all you guys wanna band together but that’s where he started the video. He said on the video that it’s the drug the drug the drug. Did you even watch the video??? He didn’t say it was an example. He directly quotes people talking about Ozempic.
@@biboebbs624I commented once ?? On this video??? Lmaooo but hey. Go off
Thank shagod skinny and pretty is finally coming back
Guys lets face it THIN IS IN- ITS NEVER GONA BE A TREND TO BE SKINNY cause its always in style. Thank god, all this inclusive mumbo jumbo is whack. When I first saw the big girls on a Versace runway in 2021, I remember feeling my body astro project off itself. The trans girls (if we can call them that) are ok, as long as they are skinny. Bring back heroin chic. Or just heroin or any drug induced death around the eyes works in my eyes.❤
