their faces are always so squeezed and damn serios as though they were forced to do what they do.

~Maybe b/c they're there to advertise the clothes & not their facial features ?! grin All focus should be on the Clothes & not the Model!

Eww what a job. A human being's person being secondary to the clothes he/she is wearing? Eww.

It’s actually a model’s trick lifting ur head and consciously walking with a faintly arrogant cool sway cool

They dont smile cos the attention is more on the clothes than the model

Maybe they don't smile because they're not supposed to smile.

I think because being a model can be exciting As well as frustrating

@ Poster,

Unlike the billboard adverts, the runway requires fierce beauty. The sweet look doesn't work here. The "don't-mess-with-me-look" is the runway trade mark (apart from being tall of course). If you follow "America's Next Top Model" you'll hear Tyra always complimenting that "fierce" look.

Below are examples of fierce beauty.

its not really about the face, with bodies to kill for, who needs the face, certainly not the designers who seek out unique bodies of (goddesses) to show off their creations.

true. they're trying to sell the clothes not the model.
some models give a 1/3 or half smile though. the way the walk can also make the clothes look better.

it's all about the clothes lol
