In the modeling industry you can never be tall enough, thin enough, or beautiful enough. Models you see on the runway are painfully thin, and hardly anyone says anything about it. There is such pressure placed on models to be thin and fit in that sample size that it can lead to some pretty destructive behavior. Eating disorders are very common behind closed doors. In the industry it is their JOB to fit in that 00 sample size. There have been many tragic cases where models have died from anorexia and while there have been some regulations in the fashion industry they are simply not enough. Until the indistry itself starts changing their perspective on beauty, women will continue to be destructive to themselves both physically and emotionally.
Model, Isabel Caro died last year from complications with her eating disorder. She desperately wanted to get better, but so much damage had been done to her hear, her body, and her mind that she couldnt survive it. She hated her disease that controlled her life and tried made a campaign against anorexia. She wanted to help other women with the disorder and to keep other girls from going down the same path. She posed for billboards and advertisments that stated "no anorexia" The image above is an image from the campaign:
Can we really ignore this epidemic in the industry
