An interesting little piece at Sociological Images that takes an interesting look at the whole H&M Fake Models mini-scandal. It makes the insightful observation that modeling is becoming like many other industries that have shed jobs because of increased efficiency through technology. Why work hard to be a model and get paid for it when the company can just digitally construct a body and then pay you a little money for a picture of your head? While I personally don’t like the direction that America and other countries take modeling to a skinny extreme, I am sympathetic to how technology literally destroys jobs.
