What??? You're NOT a size ZERO!!! ;)

I think it's controlled by male and female hetero and homosexuals. Which might also explain why the media doesn't just unrealistically depict women, it also unrealistically depicts men, heterosexuals, and homosexuals.

I think women are more likely to burden themselves with guilt for not looking like the girl in the shampoo commercial, whereas most guys are more likely to realize that looking like the guy in the bowflex commercial requires working out 18 hours a day on a diet of egg yolks and steroids. So some women are more likely to bitch about unrealistic depictions of women in the media because they actually feel this is a standard they are expected to meet and that they are failing to meet.

Our models and actors control the fashion. As in Pakistan the pakistani models controls the whoel fashion industry.

Those who do control the fashion industry are the ones who enable women to have the added option of wearing miniskirts,tank tops,tights,cropped pants and slippers to office workplaces.These people keep creating variations and branding such articles,which otherwise wouldve been considered overly casual and inappropriate,and put forth an image of women looking supposedly elegant in those kinds of clothes they made.Besides the standard corporate 'uniform' of long sleeve shirt,long pants and leather shoes,which wouldve looked fine on women too,men are denied all other options on how they could dress in an office workplace.Even the best pairings of collar shirt and smart crisp bermudas with good shoes are being denied entry(just because bermudas are considered 'shorts' instead of 'longs'),to say little of tank tops or slippers.Women have benefitted much from fashion as it gave them a department store space about three times the size of the men's.More varieties means more chances of finding what suits u,and also more chances of getting a more economical option.Women choose whether they want to splurge to follow fashion,or to just follow their own style from the available pool.They may even choose to spend abit more to fund an industry that looks out for their needs,so they have never lost in this sector.If they choose to be spendthrift,its their own personal choice which cannot be blamed on anyone else.Most women are shrewd enough to balance spending with investment.Now back to the main question,it sure seems like the industry is controlled by women,since it seems so biased to them that it literally brings them workplace freedom,the kind us men never have.

The fashion industry is a complex ecosystem influenced by various factors, and it's not accurate to attribute control solely to one gender or sexual orientation. Rather, a combination of individuals, companies, media outlets, and cultural norms collectively shape the industry's direction and standards.

While historically, men have held prominent positions in fashion leadership roles, such as designers, executives, and decision-makers, women have increasingly gained influence and representation across all aspects of the industry. Women designers, models, stylists, and executives have contributed significantly to shaping fashion trends and setting beauty standards.

Similarly, individuals of all sexual orientations contribute to the diversity and inclusivity of fashion. LGBTQ+ designers, models, and influencers have played pivotal roles in challenging traditional beauty norms and advocating for greater representation and acceptance within the industry.

It's essential to recognize that a multitude of factors beyond gender or sexual orientation shapes media portrayals of women. Commercial pressures, societal expectations, and cultural ideals all play a role in perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards. However, efforts within the fashion industry are underway to promote body positivity, diversity, and inclusivity, aiming to empower individuals to embrace their unique beauty and identities.

Ultimately, the responsibility for addressing the media's unrealistic depiction of women lies with the entire fashion ecosystem, including designers, brands, media outlets, and consumers. By promoting diverse representations of beauty and embracing inclusivity, the fashion industry can contribute to fostering healthier perceptions of self-image and body confidence among women and individuals of all genders and sexual orientations.
