Heidi has defended herself

It’s crazy, but there are some twisted people who seem to have nothing good to say and find flaws and problems with physical perfection. One of the world’s most beautiful women who has modelled underwear and bikinis has been criticised by a fashion designer for being…. Wait for it… “too heavy”.

This unbelievable comment coming from Wolfgang Joop, a German fashion designer shows how blinkered the fashion industry can be when it comes to looking at women. One of the other comments he made was that her bust was too big and that she grins stupidly! 

Heidi Klum who is also one of the world’s best known supermodels is certainly not fat and comments like this only serve to undermine the respect that ordinary people have for fashion designers and the world of fashion. Heidi has defended herself and said that she thought that she already had a “perfect figure for the catwalk”.

Heidi who is 35 and is married to the singer Seal has one of the most famous fashion faces in the world.  She has graced the covers of practically every single fashion magazine and is a particular favourite for lingerie and bikini shoots.

A simple bit of advice for women who are overly self conscious about their shapes is that they should not read fashion magazines because they will always make you feel inadequate and ugly. You should always know that most of the photographs that you see in fashion magazines have been touched up by Photoshop specialists to create physical perfection which is unrealistic.

Trying to compare your body to the body of a supermodel with a friendly Photoshop technician is only going to be destructive to your confidence, so don’t do it! There will always be critics out there and if Heidi Klum can’t get away without being criticised what hope do we have!

Learn to love your body and live your life to the full. Eat carefully, get exercise and don’t read fashion magazines.
