The world of fashion models is attractive for everybody. For the
average audience, a fashion model's life is glamourous, elegant and
enviable, and many young women aspire to follow such ideals. Today,
in the age of modern information technologies, there are endless
tools for communicating with the world related to fashion. The
daily lives of fashion models can be followed by the masses on
social media platforms; they have become influencers, and millions
follow the image they represent. However, in the background, there
is stress and tension. The fashion industry creates fierce
competition, and the models are under intense pressure concerning
their body shape. Slimness is a fundamental requirement. This, in
turn, leads to an increased risk of eating disorders: fashion
models are more prone to develop anorexia or bulimia like symptoms.
The book investigates the role of the representatives of the
fashion industry in the excessive ideal of slimness and in the
enhanced risk of developing eating disorders. Ensuring the health
of the models must be a fundamental aspect of the industry.
