@howtohumanpodcast: Imagine being told your body isn't good enough for a dress. Not because it doesn't fit, but because you're one centimetre outside someone's idea of acceptable. The fashion industry has long celebrated beauty while holding the women within it to some incredibly unforgiving standards. And while Heather Stewart-Whyte found the confidence to challenge those expectations, not every young model felt able to do the same. It's a reminder of how much power a few careless words can hold, particularly in an industry where your appearance is constantly being scrutinised. Heather shares a different side of the supermodel era in Episode 03 of How to Human. 🎙️ Listen to the full conversation on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. #podcast #womenpodcasters #howtohuman

I would have asked him if he was just not talented enough to adjust the garment.

Cami Barbagelata :

✨️Princess Koneko🎀🌹🇨🇦🇪🇺 :

Sanaa :

Valentina :

I sew clothes and i can assure that a centimeter it's nothing when it comes to fitting in clothes

Madikken :

The others girl, it wasn’t that she didn’t have it in her, it’s if you aren’t well known or know the right people, you can’t say anything!

Holly Popshhhhh! :

This French bridal brand booked me as a model through a hostess agency (cause that's cheaper). By that time I had done years of catwalk but was already in my 30s. However, they had all my measurements. I showed up for the fitting and the reaction from the brand was similar. I just turned around and charged the full amount. I'm not walking for people that try to save money, can't read measurements and then are vile to talent.

Haza@r :

They wanted you but they wanted you perfect for the job (modelling those dresses). You’re beautiful. The other girls might be picked to serve different tasks. The modelling world is not just for the dressing ups. A lot more to it.

Kate :

Well done for challenging this but yes you’re right not everyone is that confident

Medusa Pain 🇿🇦in 🇬🇧 :

In the early 2000’s I was at college, then uni. I was bullied both places, different towns, different people. Always by other women, for being fat. I was a size 12.
