Public Forums > Modelling > High Fashion Models

Sometimes I look at the whole size zero controversy and the weight/size issue that fashion models have to deal with and I can't help but consider myself lucky that as a mainly commercial/print model I don't have to deal with that. In all the time I've been modeling I have never been asked to lose weight or gain. Are there are fashion models on here that have to deal with their agents nagging them to lose weight?  I think it's terrible when such criticism and pressure to lose weight comes from the agencies because to me, they are not only supposed to work with their models they are supposed to protect them. Anyone agree? Disagree?

Hi Dania

You are lucky if you are on a constant weight! A lot of girls rae I have a lot slim friends and they eat like me but they don't put on a pound!

I feel bad for models who are being nagged at BUT it is a tough tough industry.  I think anyone entering this industry needs to know its no picnic and yes, if you are putting on weight someone will tell you to your face...
