There are numerous dilemmas plaguing
the modern fashion industry. Advertising in the fashion
industry can be blamed for many of society's problems with
weight and eating disorders. There are many individuals in
the world who do not have the ideal body type and the
aggressive advertising campaigns waged by numerous fashion
companies, portraying beautiful, skinny models and muscle
clad men, create this illusion that this is the perfect body
type and everyone should strive to look exactly like this.
This puts a great deal of stress on people to try and look
this way. These types of advertisements have an enormous
impact on the youth at the present as many of them appear in
youth magazines.Another very
prominent problem facing the fashion industry is the extreme
body forms many of the models are portraying. The vast
majority of catwalk models are dangerously skinny and it has
been suggested that they even suffer from malnourishment.
Members of the youth, upon seeing these outrageously skinny
models, may become obsessed with wanting to look like them
to the extent to which they develop some eating disorder.
