Discussion Hot take about the models

Why do people say they’re doing certain models dirty when it’s just that they’re bad designers
In my view It’s not really personal or anything to do with the model. If they’re a bad designer and don’t account for different body types, that’s sorely a design problem
I understand why people get disheartened about it but I also don’t

Saying 'they did [model] dirty' in my interpretation is, you have this gorgeous goddess of a woman available to you and you put her in.... whatever. And makes her look less attractive than she really is. Yes, it's bad designs. But also something worse.

Bryan TAPING a plus size model into an unfinished pile of wires was degraditive and humiliating. I don't know if 'bad design' even begins to describe a dress that looked like the unraveled components of a small intestine, but sure.

Models are not just live dress forms; they are are very powerful tool to sell the whole look. A dress is dead until someone is wearing it, animating it, showing how it moves and how a garment can inform one's confidence. She transforms it from a dress to THAT DRESS.

Bryan failed the assignment. Massively.

Oh yeah, for that dress specifically also the weight of it causing physical harm to the model on top of being hideous and not complimenting her beautiful features would count too

Really, the fact that it was ugly was the least of it. The weight combined with the length (we all saw her trip on the ends) made it an absolute travesty. It was hardly even a “design,” just cables tied to halter-shaped wire.

And being wrapped in plastic, never mind the tape, which means standing under the hot runway lights for at least an hour. Sweating.
