Beauty Standard VS Fashion Standard

Hey people! Today, I wanted to write about the differences between "Fashion Standard" and "Beauty Standard".

Doing research on the internet, and by asking friends that are currently models, I found out that there are two types of standards. One is created by the "high-fashion" industry, which is the "Fashion Standard". This one is more strict and is ruled by being able to wear anything that is put on the person. It's more eccentric and "art"-like. The models have to be thin and tall so the designer can make anything they want and she can "look good" in them. They think of the models as copies and when they design, it's not about the size or how she looks, it's what they want to express. Also, the clothing is very expensive and not really meant to be worn.

But, the one this blog is talking about is the "beauty standard" which is the one created by society. This one is ruled by what the society wants. Also, it's less expensive and actually sold for the public. Thankfully, the fashion sold in most of the stores is not rigged by "high fashion". Since society is the one who sets this standard, it's the one that's actually followed by masses and, therefore more popular. Here, the models are whatever the people make famous. 

To give an easier or clear example, the fashion standard is more like Lady Gaga (before her anorexia recovery) and the beauty standard is Beyonce or Taylor Swift. This difference is not really known since during the 1970's, it was a little blurred out and since then people have confused the two. Doesn't it make sense? Let's be honest, no one will wear this: 

Today, there is a big difference between the two standards. This are the models. The "beauty standard" (BS) models are healthy, meanwhile the "fashion standard" (FS) models are known for having eating disorders (underweight). Thankfully, today both have changed. Now in the BS every type of body is accepted, as long as you're healthy, and they media is says that we should love ourselves. While in the FS, models are not being accepted if they have an eating disorder or are unhealthy. So there is a good change, it's occurring slowly but it's happening.
