For models have shortcomings of yesterday are today attracting

  I was a fashion journalist for more than two decades, but one thing that I hate about the industry is the same name . Mode means that particular decree is look in vogue and dismissive of anything else.

Fortunately , in recent years the appearance of women 's policy was less dictatorial and democratic , we discover a desire to express our own taste and style thanks to our visual identity. And while there are still the inevitable " trends ", most of us are in a position to give it careful consideration before they pick.

The result ? A series of stimulation happy clothing style in cities all over the world and image an explosion of blogs " street style ," which opened a new public appreciation of individuality. Fashion is no longer about the adoption of transitional unity but a personal style of expressive hand in hand with an approach that is more expansive in our perception of beauty.

I do not think anyone can argue that the supermodels - Claudia Schiffer , Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington , Christie Brinkley , Elle Macpherson , et al - not pretty . All have exquisite proportions , functions and color, define it as classic beauties . But their ubiquity only served to make it feel untouchable physical perfection bland and uninteresting. And in the age of digital retouching , the company has become cynical about the images we see in magazines, on billboards . Unconsciously so we started looking for something different, look a little more real : something to challenge our deeply rooted notion of beauty.

The " error " , which aspiring models agencies are facing in the past suddenly saw their brands become : features like bushy eyebrows , hair cuts edgy, angular features , they liked individuals in a sea of ​​lush blond locks and Lissome Sunkissed members.

When Edgar Allan Poe said, " There is no exquisite beauty ... without some strangeness in the proportion . " It is wonderful to work with teeth cut girls Gap, striking patterns and crazy hair, and a rich ethnic mix in their genes , for the large -scale advertising campaigns and fashion shows to see reserved. Men who look feminine dresses couture modeling ? Wonderful, androgynous women , to ask the question and our ideals that we attracted ? Let more of them . these are not only wash, but characters that sell clothing .

And in a very real interpretation of the demand for the bizarre models , I like Marks & Spencer celebrates the true diversity of femininity with its latest campaign : Tracey Emin artist, author Monica Ali , nurse Helen Allen and boxer Nicola Adams would probably be described as a classic material be , but its beauty is deeper than the superficial ideal model of the era , and we love it.
