When you think of fashion modeling about 80
years ago, it is obviously much different compared to now. Let’s take an
example of Lisa Fonssagrives, the first considered supermodel from the 1930s in
America, and then compare her with Laura LaFrate, our recent winner of
“America’s Next Top Model”; there is clearly a huge change in physical
appearance. Along with the fact that it is of course not” black and white”
anymore and that the fashion has changed, but also how they portray themselves
reveals us each of their unique characteristics. We can visualize right through
their eyes, emotions, gestures and poses! 
Many may differentiate the two by just concluding
that modern models are just simply sexier. Possibly, they may be more
revealing. However, instead of viewing it in an inconsiderate manner, if you
view it artistically, you would be able to sense their beauty inside out. Both
modern and older models have their own way of demonstrating their sensation
through modeling.
Models from the older days played a big
part in the history. Although they were poorly paid, they were the key
entertainment. During World Wars, many soldiers admitted to have fallen in love
and admitted that models were their main motivation that kept them going. Dorian
Leigh for instance, became very popular after World War II as people declared
her modeling was a contribution to the war. As you can see, modeling was given
plenty of attention! However today, the entertainment industry has intensely
expanded which results the focus to shift around a little bit.
Runaway models seem to keep more
of the classiness and tradition; in fact they’re even more serious! I personally prefer the modern modeling
over old modeling. Each has its own great uniqueness but the change is what
really attracts me. I love the development I’m seeing and the creative ideas
that fashion designers have. I feel like I can relate when watching modeling;
it’s like I’m the imaginary director behind the scenes! As human, we have not
reach the perfect level yet; we enjoy discovering new styles as we work
together as a team. Models has developed and changed quite a bit but still kept
that uniqueness along the process; the “cold-looking” style that differentiate
themselves from regular people. Anybody can tell if an individual is a
supermodel. As modeling develops, my passion for it will always remain.
Discussion Time:
Do you prefer modern modeling, or the old classical way of modeling? Did both modern and classical modeling made the same impact in the society?
