Models please!

I don't know how many would support me on this, but I truly believe models should be on the cover of fashion magazines not celebrities.

And I believe so for many reasons, they (celebrities) already get their share of attention and more, however models are the ones in the field of posing and selling fashion. On that note I'd also like to add that celebrities on runway is also not pleasing to me.

Indian fashion scene is developing slowly in many areas, and we are too obsessed with our celebrities, and their lives. This stereotypical want to give someone more importance than they should is appalling.

From the past 3 months all Vogue issues I've gotten have had celebrities on the cover. Okay some might have started as modeling and may even do some now, but the reason to why they're on the cover is not because of that. It's purely based on their acting career. And as any fashion follower who wants to gain knowledge about fashion and fashion people it's important to emphasize on the models who work so hard on it. Without them the industry wouldn't exist.

Celebrities can't pose like models can, they are the true interpreters of the art of posing high fashion, I actually can't wait to open the magazine and have a look at the ad of Louis Vuitton, or Marc Jacobs, or Dior, and indulge in the art of selling a bag, or shoe!. It's marvelous and deserves more attention.

It's actually weird if one would notice magazines that are for women, in general and not particular to fashion have models on their covers, sure they may not be able to afford a celebrity but they are at least helping the modeling industry of India. I feel bad regarding my knowledge of Indian models, I actually can't name one!.

This is just my view, but I crave to see someone other than Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Karena Kapoor, on the covers of fashion magazines.

What do you think?

  1. Hey Syeda sorry I completely forgot to reply to yr comment in my blog a while back. To be honest, I can't bring myself to buy Shehnaz Hussain products. Some people do like it...n most kajals smudge so we just have to apply a bit of powder around the eyes to prevent it.
    Ya I also think actors are taking away the models' jobs these days
