Abstract

Fashion models are often assumed to have a glamorous job with limited consideration for their well-being. This study aims to assess the well-being of models through semi-structured interviews with six professional fashion models and six industry professionals. Thematic analysis revealed that although models experienced improved self-confidence, they also reported heightened anxiety levels, body image issues and negative influence of modelling on their self-esteem. By contrast, industry professionals reported no or minimum concerns about anxious behaviours or the general well-being of fashion models. Being resilient as a model was perceived as an essential attribute to have by both models and industry professionals as they face recurrent rejection in this industry. These results demonstrate a significant gap in the current understanding of the well-being of fashion models between industry professionals and the models themselves. Findings imply that there is an inherent need for change in the modelling industry to promote and enhance their well-being.

魅力中的勇气:时装模特幸福感的定性研究

摘要

时装模特通常被认为拥有一份光鲜亮丽的工作,而很少考虑她们的幸福。本研究旨在通过对六位专业时装模特和六位行业专业人士的半结构化访谈来评估模特的幸福感。主题分析显示,虽然模特的自信心有所提高,但她们也报告了焦虑水平升高、身体形象问题以及模特对自尊的负面影响。相比之下,行业专业人士表示对时装模特的焦虑行为或总体健康状况没有或只有极少的担忧。当模特和行业专业人士经常面临这个行业的拒绝时,作为模特的弹性被认为是一个基本属性。这些结果表明,目前行业专业人士与模特本身之间对时装模特福祉的理解存在显着差距。调查结果表明,模特行业有内在的变革需求,以促进和提高他们的幸福感。
