The usage of plus-size models is usually viewed as a positive trend. The media with its thin, and sometimes malnourished Photoshopped models is believed to cause low self-esteem, eating disorders, unhealthy dieting, and distorted body image. It is more worrying to the society since it concerns the adolescent girls. However, the usage of models who represent average and big men and women is viewed to have a positive impact on self-esteem and body image. At the same time, the main arguments against it are that plus-sized models promote obesity, unhealthy eating and laziness, and that the usage of such models negatively affects the sales. This paper will investigate the positive impact the plus-size models have on health, society, economy, and advertising, fairly analysing the arguments of the opposite view
Выдержка из текста
Today's media is an expensive and a fast evolving structure. However, it is still argued how diverse the media is. Excluding the racial, class, and gender diversity out of the question, the media's use of models who are not thin is questionable. At the same time, the term "plus-size model" has still not formed well even in the borders of the media. For example, in 2014 Calvin Klein introduced a "Perfect Fit" campaign with Myla Dalbesio, stating that she is a plus-size model since she is size 10. This campaign caused many negative comments on the way average-sized women are considered "plus-size" and negative critique towards the media industry, which just erases women bigger than UK size 8 from the media representation, closing their way to the social acceptance and causing a negative body image in them and the others. Since the term "plus-size model" is usually associated with and referred to female models, this paper will study the involvement of primarily female models sizes 10-12 and higher in the media industry
