the toxicity of the fashion industry
Briefly

The fashion industry perpetuates toxicity through tokenism and body dysmorphia, negatively impacting not only models but also society's perception of beauty and self-worth.
Statistically, 40% of models engage in distorted eating habits, though experts suggest the true figure is much higher, reflecting the industry's harmful standards.
The industry's unrealistic beauty standards lead 88% of women and 65% of men to compare themselves to media images, fostering self-criticism and diminished ambition.
Young minds attempting to navigate this toxic industry are subjected to harassment and verbal abuse, particularly if they lack privilege, leading to a discouraging environment.
