Abstract(s)
Recent structural changes in the fashion industry have produced
transformations in the fOflns of embodiment socially valued by the modeling
industry. These transformations seem to move in thc direction of the
democratization of the models' appearancc canon, and towards the
diversification of corporeality welcomed in the fashion market. Drawing from
this perspective, the objective ofthis article is to comprehend sociologically the
conditions, meanings and some ofthe effects ofthose changes in a way that can
point to the emergence of a new ethics that values inclusive forms of
embodiment inside the glamorous and highly selective world offashion models.
The discussion will bc cmpirically based on a set of semi-directed intcrviews
conducted with a set of professional fashion bookers, as well as focus groups
done with young fashion models.
