    I think it would be so different if they included Kim Kardashian in a way so she would share her story about her plastic surgeries — or at least share her struggle to attain a ‘perfect body’. maybe even share that she accepts responsibility for promoting unattainable beauty standards (well, beauty standards that are attainable only through plastic surgery). that would be another side to the very complex story of a female body.. but considering the fact that Vogue pushes unattainable beauty standards so they would sell more, I am not surprised that they didn’t even think about that.

      To say her body is unattainable or attainable only through plastic surgery is false ( in my perspective ) as I grew up with black women in my family/ community/ area who have her body type and some of them had even bigger hips than hers and smaller waists so I think it’s important to acknowledge the fact that she appropriated the standard ( for a lack of a better word) image of black women ( again this is my own experience )

    This is all well and good but for women like me who have larger chests the fashion industry barely caters for us cos everything is made for flat chested petite women. Also proportions do not measure up for clothing because it’s either too tight or does nothing to accentuate different figures like wider hips/smaller waists etc.

    This is rather hypocritical because it only applies to women’s fashion. Men’s fashion is still advertised using only slim or built models, and the current “body positivity” movement has not included men in the slightest. So yes, men are still pressured to have body issues, go to the gym relentlessly, and worry that people won’t like them if they don’t have fit bodies, myself included. So this movement proclaiming to be positive is rather self serving, fake, and hypocritical. No woman will say she wants a fat man, not one.

    I think this is a beautiful message that everybody should love their body as it is. However, I wish Vogue would have done this 50+ years ago. Companies like Vogue are one of the main contributers of pushing young girls into eating disorders and body dysmorhpia for decades, trying to fit their beauty standards. So I feel like videos like this is just a way of rectifying the situation and trying to be politically correct. I’m glad the fashion industry is changing though. More diversity, as everyone is beautiful 🙂

    i think it’s ironic to have Kim Kardashian on this. not saying she isn’t beautiful but she and her family are to be held with some responsibility with how women see themselves and perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards. i’m not saying that she herself hasn’t been subjected to those standards but it’s insane to think that she’s innocent in setting body standards. at the same time, she is also a product of people’s criticisms

    Vogue has been a part of setting these standards. You can’t just erase all of that with a 3 minute video. I get the intention behind the video but it just seems like a marketing ploy.

    I’m sorry but Vogue magazine is responsible for millions of insecurities and eating disorders because of the images they approved/ body types that they’ve promoted.. this is embarrassing. And not Kim K trying to get some sympathy points for god knows what.. this video is a joke, Vogue.

    Please, vogue hopped on the body positivity trend when they knew people were waking up to the standards they had been pushing.

    They would never make this content if it weren’t for trends. This is inauthentic.

    They contributed to and were the central place of influence when it came to projecting unrealistic beauty standards & unhealthy living (to obtain idealistic body image) on to the public. For decades.

    Like that stupid eggs and wine diet back in the 70s ????????

    VOGUE DIDN’T FEATURE A PLUS SIZE MODEL ON THE COVER UNTIL 2017.

    It’s great to make changes and develop with the times, this feels ironic though.

    Vogue would’ve had a huge impact on the reason the modelling and fashion industry is the way it is. They are the power house and their influence would’ve been across the board, and probably semi responsible for many models bad experiences.

    No one is associating vogue with the idea of self acceptance.

    As a person who struggled with body image issues all her life (perpetuated by magazines like vogue and cosmo I must add), seeing this video gave me goosebumps. I felt like I was seen by an industry that made me believe that I was not worthy of even to be looked at let alone being loved, and with that made me feel invisible but somehow taking way too much space at the same time. I wish Vogue would’ve done this not because it’s “trendy”, not because we are somehow a “target audience” now, but because it’s the right thing to do.
