- Requirements to be a model include being between ages 16-23, measuring at least 170cm tall, and wearing a size 34 or 36. However, models were once not admitted if considered "too fat" at sizes now within requirements.
- Spain was one of the first countries to stand against anorexia by promoting models with more curves. Additionally, makeup artists work to prevent emaciated looks from being further emphasized.
- Currently, brands are increasingly choosing to promote plus-size models ranging from sizes 38-40 and standing at least 170cm tall, weighing around 70kg. This contrasts with stricter standards of 10 years ago.

cool"
"In every school there are the cool and popular kids
, and then there are the not-so cool kids. We go after
the cool kids. A lot of people don't belong, and they
can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.“
"Some companies are in trouble because they try to
reach everyone: young, fat, thin. But then you become
totally loose. Not angry at anyone, but neither you
stimulate anyone. "
