No, as in Kate Upton's curves.

Be respectful with others' definition as you would want them to be respectful of yours.


Thank you.

IMHO, the OP has a body type that would work well for many industry glamour roles.  Darn near perfect in my book.

kate upton is gorgeous, nothing wrong with her body. But as you can clearly see from the picture: her entire body is pretty much straight up and down. and then there's big boobs. that's not "my definition", that's just observation.

I see... and all the natural slender models or even natural slender non-models (many from Europe and Eastern Europe), who have not been fed the American diet, are not real because they don't have excess fat?   roll

Depends on what industry you're talking about.

Fashion is more slim with little to no curves.
Glamour on the other hand is slim with curves.

From my observations.

With your body, I'd think you'd be perfect for glamour work.

A lot of my clients want curves, so you're in  .  .  .  how soon can ya be here  .  .  .  wink  I shoot quite a bit of biker chic, motorhead, surf, beach, island, urban, all most all of those genres prefer curves to "skinny"  .  .  .  of course most high fashion, catalog, and high end casual still look for a "model build" style model, mostly so their clothes hang a certain way  .  .  .  then there's VS, skinny, AND curvy  .  .  .  wink  The OP's curves are welcome in front of my lens anytime  .  .  .

I remember a time when the preferred body type of a woman was skinny or slim but these days it seems the industry prefers a curvier figure.

Do you agree? If you had to pick one which would it be?

For a model?  Both, if "curvy" is within a certain range, and not a euphemism for fat.

I like my body, which I refer to as slim but curvy (although not as booby as the example presented; my curves are in my waist-hip ratio, of which there has been interesting biological studies done)   Many people mistake my body type for having no curves; I must wear clothing in my every day life that does a poor job of showing my figure. smile

Some commercial advertising in my area is leaning towards more representation of the "full figured woman", but fashion agency boards seem to be the same 34-24-34 as has been, which is curvy, but also tall and thin.

I'm looking over the images from Couture Fashion Week, and I'm looking over all the ad campaigns that the designers and other industry professionals are releasing, and I'm not seeing a difference in the kinds of models that they're using. Same standard girls as always. Kate Upton (and women who look like Kate Upton) are not featured at all.

The industry looks the same as it has for decades (except for a bit more racial diversity.)

Umm... No. Some VS models do have implants.

And, all women are real. A potbelly or lack of one, doesn't change that.

Are you talking about Couture Fashion Week in NYC?

I am a friend of the producer and worked with him on fashion shows before there was a couture fashion week... as a matter of fact... I worked with him on the concept of CFW.

If you look closely... there are many girls that are heavier than most standard llamas... those are in the show as well... but rather often than not..., he hires girls that are a tad bigger... I know... I have been involved in the production for many years.

You know... admittedly... she does have a gorgeous face... and full bouncy, captivating breasts when she is walking...

... but as soon as the camera reaches her hips... the appeal totally disappears... and there is nothing sexy or curvy for me on her below her ribcage... it's straight and not "curvy"...

I was talking about actual couture houses in Paris. I didn't even know NYC had couturiers.
