I noticed that Jacquemus casted models for a few of his earlier fashion shows based on the shows overall aesthetic. It resulted in a diverse and interesting looking group of models. Now that his brand has grown, heās using more well known āsuper modelsā, but I thought his previous casting choices were cooler

I used to model but since I wasnāt tall or lanky enough for runway it was mostly print and promotional.
It can be fun and glamorous but back in the ā90s there was also a lot of sexual harassment, fetishizing, etc.
On one shoot I was a teenager and had to pose with a much older man who was in a bathtub. I was all wetted down in a sheer dress and he was in swim trunks. It was very uncomfortable and the designer apologized to me later for that. He held onto my hips even when the camera wasnāt shooting, and he was the photographerās boyfriend!
And itās rare to be able to make a living from that alone.
Iām really glad to see more diversity now! Hopefully thereāll be more inclusion for older gals and maybe Iāll get work againā¤

I do find it interesting I meet a lot of men who do not like tall women, and they actually find a lot of models to not be attractive. Their words (extremely ugly) . I do wonder if the modeling industry is pushing so far in finding extreme faces and looks that being a model is no longer the standard for attractiveness. As an artist I have an appreciation of all the strong dimorphic features however I am inclined to agree that the most attractive women I have met were not in the modeling category and many of the modeling looks come off far too aggressive or alien for me to ever aspire or idolize as an epitome of attractiveness. It would be interesting to see a study on if models in the modeling industry were rated highly for attractiveness among males and females compared to women on Instagram/ or not in the modeling industry. Thank you for the content as always :)

The biggest consistent thing I've noticed in modeling are the requirement for wide set eyes, a protracted (strong) jawline, fuller lips, high cheekbones, and of course height. It's extremely rare to see a model with a recessed jaw (as the lips are thinner, the eyes more close set, the face flatter or concave, and the person is generally less attractive)

When I was in my teens and early 20s, I was naturally quite thin (like size 2 or 0). Back then, I thought maybe I could become a print model, due to being 5ā3ā. Also, I thought that being East Asian (specifically Korean) would make me standout. I even took modeling classes and briefly went to NYC for a model/talent competition. However, it ended up being a waste of money. This was also before Asian models became popular. Now that Iām in my early 40s, I have an average (size 6-8) figure. Aging definitely slows metabolism. However, I do take steps in order to slow down aging, such as skincare, eat less and exercise more, drink green tea daily, etc.. While Iām glad thereās more racial and size diversity in the modeling industry, itās still a very competitive and challenging field to become successful in.

I just think the "mature" features like high cheekbones are naturally attractive because they signal sexual maturity. So it makes sence that a female face with a mix of neotenous AND mature features would be more attractive than a female face that just looks like a childs face. š¤·š»āāļø
