It feels like being a model would be the pinnacle of a fun and successful life. You have people painting your face with beautiful and unique makeup, they dress you up in couture, and you get your photo taken while strutting your stuff on the catwalk. What's not glamorous about all that? Well, according to the models themselves, actually a lot. There is, unfortunately, a dark side to the fashion industry and the victims are the models that we idolize. Many models struggle with body image issues that lead to eating disorders and serious health struggles. When people are constantly measuring you, photoshopping your body, and telling you to lose weight, it's hard to maintain a healthy relationship with your body. On top of that, many models feel discriminated against and claim that inclusivity is barely making its way into the fashion world, as much as we'd all like to think it's doing great. Many models of color say that they still aren't as accepted in the fashion world as white models, and it's 2019, people! And if that's not enough, many models are actually going into serious debt the moment they step into the industry. If you didn't know already, models are considered independent contractors, not employees of their modeling agency. So that means that a lot of times, models are racking up a tab with their agencies for things like hotel rooms, headshots and test shoots, and even expensive plane tickets to Paris. As it turns out, the life of a model is actually really tough, and many models have had enough.
