The Basics

WITH JOE HOLMES

" It ' s time to fix the modeling industry . The media is killing freedom ."
Now I ' ve got your attention , whether you are a gossip girl , casual reader , photographer or aspiring model . I ' ve got an important message . Unstable teenagers have been deprived of freedom by the fashion industry view of perfection . It ' s time to fix the modeling industry . The media is killing freedom .
Reading this article you may think : how hard is it , posing for a camera wearing expensive clothes for a few minutes . The average model works 16-20 hours a day !! So please follow your heart and help me improve the fashion industry now .
Being high up in the fashion industry I know too well what young people are put through . The other side of the lens you aren ' t told the truth , instead , you are delivered what the publishers want you to see . I want you to help me change this . Fashion is a powerful tool for expression , it is a creative art . Be yourself on the inside and the outside . We are all beauty and we should not be afraid to show our uniqueness .
Models are finding their work stressful mentally and physically . Even supermodels have stepped away from it to take a break such as Cara Delevinge and Gemma Ward . They have also been speaking out critically about the industry ’ s expectations and their own feelings of fatigue .
