Genius?

One thing I've been wondering about is fashion designers.


They are seen as geniuses in the area of fashion, but...
How genius are you when you only know how to make clothes to really thin people? I mean, many models has no boobs, no hips, no thighs and no butt...
I mean come on, many of you fashion designers are old too! How can you sit there and say that girls have to be so skinny they look like little girls?

Wouldn't you actually be a genius if you knew how to make dresses that fit normal people who have shapes?

One popular reason for using skinny girls is that they say "oh they are just racks that walk".

Well, wouldn't it be easier to build a rack-thingy that showed of the clothes instead?
And seriously, who wants to buy you clothes? I mean, we can't get a proper look on how they actually look on as most women have hips, boobs, thighs, butts...

Not banning models with way too low BMI, that is just way to frightening! Vi have tons of rules for taxi drivers, warehouse workers, doctors, nurses, so that they won't be sick, ill, so there will be no mistakes done, etcetera.
So, people being unhealthy underweight because they get pushed to lose weight or they won't hire you is okay?
The risks of getting anorexia and die is not hazardous? And the atmosphere in the modeling world does not make it better, which we can see in different seasons of Top model, where people will be sacked if they are food poisioned? Shame on you Tyra! Usually, I like you, I just hope this was sort of a first season, "haven't-fully-grown-up-to-be-a-sensible-woman-yet" moment, because there is a difference between being passionate for work, and stupid.
Health should ALWAYS be a priority, no matter which job you have, and please, models, you have to understand, you can't be a model for ever, so try and finish some sort of education so you can study more, or have a degree when you are finished!

Of course, some people are real thin, and can make nothing to put weight on, no matter how much they try, and that is not the problem, the problem is that fantasy that everyone has to look like that, and that there is this perfect measurement that everyone should strive for...

Everyone has their own perfect measurements, but I thought they were calculated after height, or do we (the majority of the world) have to start eating growing hormones so that we become tall?¨

There is no shame to be thin/slim/fit, but everyone is different, and has a different view on this. And we all look different. There isn't a problem that a girl at 150 cm is a size 0, but she is very short, and would maybe be overweight if she was bigger.

An example:

A girl, reaching 155 cm, and a girl reaching 175 cm.
Healthy BMI for shorter girl is when she's between 45-58 kilos.
Healthy BMI for taller girl is when she's between 58-75 kilos.
If they were the same weight, it would almost be hazardous for them, just in two very different ways.

Na, fashions designers aren't that brilliant really.

You can decide yourself, of the pictures above, which girl is the most beautiful, healthy looking one?
You can choose, I won't judge you.

Top one, I have no idea who she/they is/are, bottom picture is Whitney, cycle 12 winner of Americas next top model (first plus size to win I think? ... Do she even look "plus size"?)
