Fashion magazines – we all know it – love anorexic models.
A while ago, I was discussing new potential fashion stories with the editor of a magazine and I proposed focusing on the very subject.
“When you cast new models, you are always looking for skinny girls”, I told her. “How about having some fun with it and going for an extreme anorexic look?”
I showed her an image that I had heavily photoshopped in order to give those legs a Jordi La Banda look.
“Arrrrrgh!” she exclaimed in disgust, “that’s frightening”.
I had to laugh. What I showed her was fake, almost an illustration, a parody of the skinny fashion ideal. The emaciated models she was looking for were real. Anyway…
Any magazine out there that would like to go for it? Drop me a line…
