We are four girls
from a school for social studies (Karin, Barbara, Erika, Sara) Brixen
(South-Tyrol) working on the poject "Körperbilder".
Our topics are fashion and models.
We want to give you a brief insight into our project work.
Fashion
Fashion has existed
since the earliest historical time. In the 17. century the word "fashion"
was taken from the French. At the beginning of modern history interest
in fashion increased. Suitable clothing can underline one´s personality.
Today fashion refers to something modern, up to date, to something new
and fast-changing. Between 1890 and 1960 fashion was very different and
played a very important role in society.
Beauty
Every epoch and every
culture has always had ist own beauty ideals.
From the 17th to the 19th century people liked the chubby woman. In the
20th century Marilyn Monroe was the idol at this time. She was replaced
by Twiggy, a very thin woman.
Today beauty isn´t considered a nature given present anymore but
a product we can buy.
The
truth about models
Girls think, that
being a model must be a dream-job: much money, beautiful clothes,... but
the truth is different: being a model can be a very hard life.
If someone wants to be a model she must show discipline and of course
a perfect body with a nice natural-looking face.
Height: around 1,72 m
Age: 15-20 years
Size: 36-38
