the model agency C4

[pigletmania]

I watched the programme and was shocked at the superficiality and vacuous nature of it all. People in model agencies telling already underweight models to loose more weight so that they look positivly skeletal , just so that they can fit into the child size clothing samples provided by the designers

The attitudes of the model scouts are just astounding, if your not a model you are nothing said one, wtf!!!! Just shows how far from reality they really are. As for the designers, what the hell do men know about a womans figure, they only design clothes for girl boys (boy shapes). Who do they think buy the clothes then!

Editorial and catwalk are where the boys are required - and indeed are being used. Catalogue etc tend to require sizes 10 - 14 depending on the clothing company or product that is being modelled.

thought it was a bit dull this week tbh

sure the model at the end was a man

This was the conventional catwalk type agency, premier models which supply models for the high end designers.

I have not watched this week, i have it on catch up, last weeks contribution was shocking.

Strange, i thought they were discussing their catalogue/underwear models which can be anything up to a 14 too.

No last week it was the catwalk, I understood that they were discussing a model that needed to loose weight but she already looked underweight.

A model agency is 'superficial' and 'vacuous' - and you're shocked?

they called a few people fat (doing a few gestures)this week but one model was told off for having too skinny legs

because she was a catalogue model and needs to have some curves to get work.

It's all self serving.

No I am always shocked about it all Staranise, in fact I am always in a permanent shocked state

They were all painful. I cannot believe I spent an hour of life that will never be regained watching those ghastly people spouting rubbish for an hour.

[My excuse is that the cat was on my lap and I was therefore unable to Reach The Remote Control and Turn The Rubbish Off.]

ooooo same here staranise all my cats fault

I thought that the catalouge model looked much prettier than the conventional catwalk models, she was skinny, so what size do they expect a catwalk model to be, skeletal

It's the way it's always been with catwalk models. Most of the clothes they model, would probably see someone sectioned for leaving their home in them anyway.

catwalk models are now required to have straight up and down masculine figures - which is why there has been a couple of men in the womens shows, they're the only people who will fit the clothes the designers make.

What agency was it ?

I am in the US ,but was a model in London for 16 years :)

Curious ...

They really haven't done themselves any favours. I haven't watched tonights episode yet but I thought last weeks episode was an eyeopener. I cannot believe Annie gets away with bawling her eyes out at any given opportunity and felt it was more about seeing her commission slipping away rather than any real sympathy with the 16 year old girl that they had sent off to New York.

Premier iirc
Or it could have been Elite, but I think that was just mentioned

yh premier

Premier models in Lonodn

just googled their webpage - they have a celeb section too

myleene

It really isa very tough life sometimes ...

I can't watch those shows ...I think they bring back too many weird memories lol !

One client was looking for a model with 31 inch hips!!!

God help our daughters.

yabu for being shocked at the modelling world being superficial and looks based
