to think model poses have become a bit weird?! Pic attached

[HereComesColinFrissell]

I was just browsing M&S for workwear inspiration when I saw these model poses...what happened to just standing or sitting so that people could see what the clothes look like? 🤣

Lunges??! Yoga? Can't quite reach my foot??

They look ridiculous 🤣🤣

Saw a funny Youtube short ages ago where a girl walked round her office (I think it was a fashion magazine) and asked everyone to do instant model poses for different brands. I remember the Zara one, with loads of awkward lolling on staircases, people facing the wall, bizarre angry stances, etc. Funny but accurate!

I knew this would be M&S before I even clicked 😅

This. Even models look shit, be told!

It’s not to just attract attention, it’s to hide bad construction (or lack thereof) in the first place.

100% consensus on AIBU?!?

LTB

I'm cracking up at these 😂Thanks for giving me a good giggle 😂

These responses are fab, I'd not seen the Zara website and now I'm snorting my way through those poses too!! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's weird!

Ministry of silly walks.

This made me chuckle 🤣🤣

Some of the Zara jackets have been very very amusing (click to reveal whole pic as there's a few gems there)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're an M&S model aren't you?

It's so you'll spend your time thinking 'what a ridiculous pose' rather than noticing the hem is about as steady as a wing walker on a rollercoaster and the second button down is too far from the placket to go through the buttonhole.

It's so annoying.

I was looking for a jumper on M+S this week and several had every photo with the model having her arms tightly wrapped around herself. No idea what the jumpers looked like!

A few years ago on zara a dress had every picture on a long exposure with the model running about so it was literally just a blur! 😂

Oh these are fantastic!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like they're trying to be all artsy-fartsy (does anyone say that any more? 😀) and have forgotten the purpose of clothes modelling.

This had me howling.

Are male models asked to do this?

It's so ridiculous, and completely prevents you seeing what the clothes might look like if you wore them like a normal person.

My shiteye pose is legendary! I actually invented the "check your shoe for dog poo" pose !!! 💩👠😁

How the feck can you tell what even this outfit is???

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@AlpacaMittens they're the poses you do in the changing room when you try on something too small or with weird zips and get stuck😬

Fashion is so up it's arse sometimes. These shops will change their tune when they realise returns are up 300% as people can only see the item properly when they've ordered it and then decide it's not for them.

I did once have to cut a very stuck lady out of her ( the shops stock) dress in a changing room ..... And cut through her pants !!!

Christ, it's like a bunch of the worst Apprentice candidates were in charge
