Clothing Designers generally make their clothes in the 'broomstrick' sizes and models have to cater to the designers if they

want to work in the business. That's why a model's body has to be versatile. Which means 'thin.' There are some

full-figured models, but very few.

10 years ago i watched some Model Contests and Haute Couture shows back in Nigeria, i found it so wonderfull that every kinda type of women (if tall, short, slim, big or just normal looking) had a chance to show her best. Special in Africa Clothing Designers have the choice to create dresses in what ever size for a smaller amount of money. Its just sad, cry
