HollyGolightly078 and walking clothes hangers is all the industry is will ever see because literally that’s the job of it. that’s the money. that’s the whole point. going into modeling expecting to not be picked apart in every way, every day is naive. every job has cons and this just happens to be an incredibly personal job with incredibly personal cons that will always effect these girls mental.

[@agnespalfi6162]

[@whatever05]

When you have lived the moment of struggle yourself that is automatically reflected in your speech and touches the heart of viewers going through same sort of struggle everywhere.

She's actually one of the very few "nepotism" models that acknowledges this and still works hard for her career. If at that level where Cindy Crawford is your mom, Naomi Campbell your godmother, and you still are subject to some of the evils of the modeling world ... it speaks volumes that it can affect everyone. Kaia being on the cover attracts views. Simple as that.

I do believe Kaia has her own personal struggle with mental health. That being said, I do think being the daughter of Cindy Crawford does help her feel more secure in the industry. The photographers know her, the same stylists that dressed and did hair on Cindy is now working with her and of course she's working with many of the same designers that have much respect for Crawford. I'm sure if Kaia spoke out about something, people would take her seriously and she wouldn't be risking her career. There is a level of security there whether she recognizes it or not.

[@simplycande]

I've been modeling for 12 years. I was never in high fashion shows nor on Vogues cover. It's sad to know that what these well known models are saying is true for everyone, no matter how great their careers are. I have been outcasted for speaking out several times and I regret it. Everyone wants to hear the sad story but no one does anything about it. Funny enough, I'm still a model.

[@scavengerofhumansorrow0428]

Cande eres muy fuerte y para mi que soy una adolescente queriendo ser modelo eres una guía bastante gigante!

[@TheSingingGardener]

Every word coming out of Adesuwa and Anok is freakin spot on! I can watch a whole documentary with just these 2... they are so real and so relatable

[@rujutaj9055]

So happy Vogue is finally trying to start this conversation

[@oliviaerindaly]

I agree it’s good it’s being said. But these are the very people who enforce this industry. The fashion industry is bad for self esteem, the environment, the workers within it... literally everybody. It needs to go. That includes vogue.

[@oliviaerindaly]

I’m saying this as someone who interned at Love magazine (which is a part of conde Nast which owns vogue) as well as worked with some designers. Unfortunately saw the reality of the industry first hand. The devil wears prada ain’t nothing compared to what goes on. It’s ridiculous and makes me so angry, especially as everyone else worships the industry (which I used to) because we are programmed that way! But it’s genuinely horrific the things that go on. And I don’t know what I expected when the industry is literally good for nothing except ego. We need it to go, not just change, go.

[@mediaclipszone4184]

So happy people belive BS...

[@SharonVeeLee]

Even though I'm sure they perpetuate the environment like crazy. They don't care about anything but your views and your money. This is virtue signaling at its finest.

Kaia looks so mature in the makeup 😂😂I thought it was Cindy in thumbnail but then looked closely that's kaia

[@tanisha7364]

I'm sry can someone else be on the thumbnail instead of Kaia Gerber there were so many other just as talented and beautiful women

[@amanuael90]

It doesn’t matter who is on the thumbnail stop complaining about every simple thing

[@brianda5793]

Probably because she’s the most know you know

[@petruskafranova]

So then you could say that about every other model on the thumbnail...

[@tanisha7364]

I meant that Kaia already gets the advantages of being Cindy's daughter (ofc not saying she isn't good cuz her walk is amazing) but putting another model will get her so much more exposure and probably publicity. And honestly yes Kaia could have gone thru stuff but it just seems to minimize other people's suffering when u put someone of so much privilege among them

[@brianda5793]

Tanisha Pethe I get what your saying but this people put the most relevant face in the thumbnail because people are already familiar with them so they are more likely to click on the tittle

[@matilda4664]

it's so inspiring to see someone with depression/anxiety speak out about it, especially as a model

[@detroitrockscity]

I checked in for Kaia, stayed for Adesuwa Thongpond Pariyasapat Aighewi.❤

[@joshuamateo]

I just want to say thank you to the director who gave power to these women and let them speak out about this inherent issue in the industry. I think it’s def a shifting perspective that people are now seeing on how much women’s bodies have been capitalized on and treated in the likeness of the garments they market on their bodies.Hold people with power, status and reputation accountable to perpetuating a culture that could be changed for the better.

[@user-tx3lc6qp3d]

The idea of this video is so cool. But did they know that when they say about their mental health they didn’t recognise that there are so many young girls who feel bad themselves when they see this “ideal life”. I think that we should be more honest to each other and stop to live this fake live

[@amritashirali8351]

Exactly my thoughts! This world is full of women who think they're not good enough because they don't live up to the beauty ideal shoved into our faces day in and day out. It's impossible to escape. It doesn't benefit anyone except the greedy big corporations that own ALL the beauty brands.

[@S04P]

These models are just as much victims of beauty ideals as us regular people are, perhaps even more. They have to make themselves look as “perfect” as possible at all times, or they’ll end up being scrutinized by thousands of people (unlike the rest of us). They are not the ones that create beauty standards, the companies that profit off of everyone’s insecurities are. Most models are recruited at a young, vulnerable age when they have perfect, wrinkle free skin, slim figures, and other features that companies push as the ideal. Then, as they grow older, they are forced to try to keep up with their younger selves which is virtually impossible. If you want to blame anyone, blame the beauty companies that decide what standards to push so they can take your money, not the models that get put into this world.

[@sansan89894]

But that’s the thing. It’s not really the models fault( like how they’re forced to starve or called plus sized model when they have an average weight). The company’s are at fault. Quite ironic how vogue is the one doing stuff like this ( just like those videos of foreigner models facing discrimination)

[@mediaclipszone4184]

yep, I would stand there and talk the same if i was a model and was paid more than 10K to promote crap on IG.

[@tatumlawrence4391]

Exactly! When they mentioned about how you don't see the sad stuff on their insta - why not? If all you do is post flawless, retouched, smiling photos on your own instagram feed, aren't you perpetuating the stereotypes this video is trying to undo?

[@YrsaIris]

I feel this is so double. I am a model myself but if they don’t want to make believe everything is fun and perfect maybe start with social media, because that’s what makes people think it is perfect & fun. Keep your feed/stories more real than what they are doing now.

The thing is, is that the majority of human beings are in jobs where they are being held up to unrealistic standards of perfection, maybe not regarding looks but regarding job performance. They are also afraid of being replaced, but they are making far less money than all of you are making. In that five years you are talking about, you can probably accumulate more money than the rest of us can in a lifetime.
