People have long had such a terrible phenomenon as suicide. But not only individuals can commit suicide, sometimes it happens to entire states. A striking example of this is Tsarist Russia, where the aristocracy wanted changes, and in the end everything was brought to the October coup of 1917, when the entire aristocracy was expended.

Royal Russia - this is a very harsh scary example, but there are just sad examples, for example, the modern modeling business. Even 10 years ago and earlier, fashion shows were delightful, and supermodels looked like mythical goddesses. Now the work of models does not cause any enthusiasm and does not give inspiration.

Recently I had friends who were far from the modeling business and the fashion world. We celebrated a small celebration and watched fashion shows for the background. I was asked about some modern models - are they beautiful? These models cause mixed unpleasant emotions, and even disgust, why did you turn this on to us ...




Fashion media enthusiastically talk about how the world, society and values ​​are changing rapidly. In fact, it's nice that they are trying to give everyone equal rights, but there are also disadvantages to this.

The modeling business is dependent on the new ideals of society. Now designers are forced to think about every word, every print and accessories, so as not to accidentally offend the feelings of some minority group.

In addition, now it is impossible to release only beautiful blondes on the catwalk, the designer will immediately begin to be accused of racism and other mortal sins. But this is not enough, now they are beginning to struggle with slender models, and exceptionally beautiful ones. More and more public figures and organizations are demanding from the modeling business to recruit so-called ordinary women.



Among ordinary women, especially in Russia, there are a lot of beauties, but the fashion world does not seem to notice this. A good start takes perverted ugly forms, more and more "models" with obvious defects from nature or an unhealthy lifestyle are being released on the catwalk and in advertising companies. Catwalks and advertising campaigns are filled with people who even look unpleasant on the street.

At first, many designers did not accept the new realities, and then they realized that it is profitable! Why look for beauties and pay them big fees? Indeed, it is better to recruit any rabble, explain how to walk the catwalk, how to stand in front of the camera and pay them 50-100 dollars to participate. Someone can not pay anything at all - I took pictures on the podium, here's a wonderful fee, you will grab onto Instagram that you are now a podium model!



The recruitment of all in a row from the street in the model brings 2 benefits at once:

1. Saving money
2. Demonstration that we work for everyone, we are all equal and all are beautiful.

Although in reality people are not equal from birth, all this is self-deception, to say that everyone is beautiful in their own way, and there are no ugly people. The standards of beauty are laid down in our minds by nature, even our ancestors did not know what the standards of beauty were - where is beauty, and where is ugliness or simply squalor.

The current egalitarianism seeks to erase in our minds withbeauty standardsso that no one feels offended and oppressed, so that everyone thinks that they are equally beautiful and worthy of happiness. In fact, everyone deserves to be happy, but the erasure of beauty standards and many traditions can entail unpredictable consequences in the society of the future.

In the meantime, we can observe the extinction of the modeling business. The modeling career has lost most of the advantages. Models are less and less inspiring for girls, and boys don't even know the names of the current "supermodels".The vast majority of current models are faceless, they have no recognition, and no one knows their names.



The modeling business has lost its luster and elitism, now it's just a job. There are almost no angels and goddesses left among the models, only simple girls and women. There are too many ordinary people, and many of which are little appreciated. Thus, in the near future, the work of the model will not differ much from the work of a saleswoman in a hypermarket and a waitress in a cafe.


Everything that is happening now with the modeling business was predictable. If you know the history of art, you can remember how much more importance was given to art in the past. Earlier, when art was real, and required not only skill, but also talents, genius, it inspired people to strive for perfection.

Later, when experiments began in art, it began to lose its former significance. Today, only a few are interested in art, this is the lot of art historians, various critics and simply rich people who like to pay several million dollars for an incomprehensible "work of art", thereby demonstrating their wealth, power and elitism.

Contemporary art is an area of ​​experimentation and squalor. Any freak, tyrant and madman can start creating canvases and sculptures based on his crazy inner world, and if there is a competent PR specialist nearby, these creations will start selling more and more expensively, and then end up in collections and museums.

Only such art is incomprehensible and uninteresting to the absolute majority of people. Do you think it has always been that way that art was the lot of the elite? Not at all, let's remember Gothic times and the Renaissance, when temples, like ships, carried people to the Kingdom of Heaven. Contemporary art evokes bewilderment, questions, reflection, it can push to philosophical reasoning, but it does not give any enthusiasm.



The same happens with the modeling business. When classic beauty standards dominated the modeling world, models were admired. Supermodels inspired millions of girls, and boys and men kept their portraits and dreamed of such bridesmaids. The current models do not provide any inspiration, and sometimes even raise questions, bewilderment or disgust.

I must admit - the modeling business, as a wonderful phenomenon, is dying, now it is just a job without any special prospects and meaning.
