Picture Me: A Model's Diary (Documentary Film)

^ omg! They actually provide drugs and other means of distoring their body image?? :shock:
No wonder model apts have a bad rep.
 
****Edited ****

The way of treating girls and picturing nudity has a lot to do with respect for the models, too. IMO many fotos are so respectless and disgusting, that's no longer "fashion". This is very degrading for the girls :sick: Agencies shouldn't even upload fotos like this into their models' portfolio on their website, for example.

i wonder if the boys have to go through the same thing as the girls?
 
^i even think they went through more than the girls did. no explanations needed here i suppose
 
After seeing/hearing about that Terry story I can't think of him the same way again. How he still gets work being that obviously p*rn*gr*ph*c is ...shocking. Then again, what isn't in this article/doc?

^i felt the exact same way.
its appalling how all of these CRIMES are committed everyday in teh fashion industry and yet people still manage to let it slide.

i think they go through a lot more. i mean, aside from the fact that the fashion world has a high percentage of gay men working within the industry, you could just imagine. i'm sure a lot of the male models are sexually harassed, but you won't hear about that.
 
I really want to watch this Documentary..

I read somewhere that there's an increasing amount of nude photography in editorials.
And I thought fashion was about the clothing?
It's really not dissimilar to the likes of p*rn*gr*phy.
Now the seedy man can flip through i-D, instead of Playboy..

=/
 
More than the scandalous aspect of Picture me, what I'm looking forward to are Sara Ziff's point of view on her profession. Of course the sexualisatio age and weight issues will be part of that but it's so rare that models are given the opportunity to speak about their job besides bland interviews where we mostly hear about their private lives, style and fitness regimen. What struck a cord with me in the trailer is the "you end up feeling like a living doll part".
 
Yes I agree with you! Many models show more skin than ever before!

When can the full film be seen? Does anyone know?
 
^maybe after the film festival where it is participating
 
I went on her thread and I was looking through. It seems as if she was emerging in the industry...Did she just disappear one day? Or slowly fade away? What exactly happened?
 
Probably she just focused on her studies at university which shows she is a very clever person by the way
 
this is why 14 year old russian girls are used, not for the "amazing bone structure"
To be quite honest, I've always believed that this was a major factor in the overall age preference for models. Not just sexually, but a 14-year-old (even more so if does not speak English, French or Italian) without her parents would likely be much more easily manipulated than someone older.

Actually she had a long and steady career, with big advertising campaigns and lots of runway work. It actually seemed for a time she was in every runway show.
She only stopped modelling full time relatively recently and is still signed with an agency.
 
I SO need to see that movie :shock: And about Terry: this man gives me nightmares!

same for me.
but i guess we'll have to wait a while before we get to see this movie. does anybody know whether it'll be released on DVD?
 
I read the entire thread but I didn't see any story about Terry...

anyone can explain to me? :flower:

I really want to see that movie, and saucer-like, I totally agree with what you said !
