Don’t get too offended with this statement. I will make it clear by explaining further. I have no intentions to talk negatively about the models of the top designers of the world, or any other models from any of the modelling agencies. However, I must warn that some models are so skinny, they have created really bad images about themselves. These models are trying so hard to remain thin so that they can wear the smallest size. However, there is a point when they no longer realise the difference between thin and skinny.

If you look closely, you can see some models have just the right shape while others are way too skinny. Every part of the body seems to be out of proportion. It is a bad message to the young girls out there who aspire to be a model as their career in life. These girls are easily influenced by the images and in return, they too become skinny. Skinny is when the bones are visible. No one likes to see a skeleton on the runway.

It is very important to have a healthy lifestyle and healthy body. Being a model is not all about being thin and beautiful. You must be in the right shape to be a model - but not a skinny one. You can be healthy and a beautiful model at the same time.

For people who work in the corporate world, it can be difficult to find a wardrobe that is functional and professional, and which can be worn after work for a casual date with your partner, friends or business associates. High heels give that air of competency in the office, but if you’re on your feet all day, then you can almost guarantee they will get pretty sore come 5pm. Same with the clothing. A tailored jacket looks smart, but can be restrictive and uncomfortable if worn for long hours. And after work, running for a train or a restaurant booking, heels and a suit won’t stand up to the task. But if you consider knitwear, particularly dresses, then you can wear it at and after work. Something stylish and fashionable can be great for a day with the bosses and then afterwards at a movie-and-coffee date. Similarly, skirts can be teamed with sweaters for a great office look that extends to the street. The added benefit is that you won’t need two wardrobes – one for home and one for work. The same collection of functional clothing can suit both the office and the street, which will save you money and double your wardrobe!
