Am I the only one who thinks that all of a sudden it's just a thing to hire models with different disorders? I almost feel like the designers are just using these people for more media and attention. Which to me is sick

Maybe I'm just too naive, but even if people with disorders or disabilities know they are being used for marketing, that could be just the first steps that will open bigger doors and the opportunity to make their dream come true. In the end, it is just another job. People/companies don't hire you to do a job just because they have a noble heart, they pay you to do something that will make profits for them.

Amazing pictures! I love their world, the style, everything. But tbh, it seems that it ain't much about breaking stereotypes. Fashion photography nowadays is kind of a "freak show" - not in a way, that I think they are freaks, but that they hunt down people who look very different and display them. The stranger the better - then they say "oh, everyone is beautiful", which sells very well. On one hand, I am happy for the message, on the other hand... Are these people really respected in this context? I dunno, it all leaves me confues:D My moral compass is spinning.

I have the same thoughts ad you. But my conclusion usually ends with the typical "oh, well, if they're truly happy with this, good for them".

If you think that France has just banned models that are too thin which this lady obviously is, the clothes are not going to fit normal people who tend to be larger than the model, and I agree she is being used as a shock tactic to attract attention. What is wrong with admitting to yourself that you are just not built to be a model, or play a certain sport, or do a certain activity it seems that everything is about having to accept people taking part in activities that they really are not good at, not able to do properly or making more abled bodied people drag them or push them throughout these activities. I can accept there are things I can't do why then can't anybody else!
