This is an Italian company, so they still slipped in a couple of pretty ones too
It’s about time we decolonized beauty.
CNN:
From the moment 57-year-old supermodel Kristen McMenamy opened Valentino’s latest show in Paris, it was clear the fashion house was breaking with convention.
With Haute Couture Week collections normally worn by young, waif-like models, the Italian label’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli offered two things rarely seen on the most exclusive of runways: gray hair and refreshingly average body sizes.
The intimate Spring-Summer 2022 presentation, titled “Anatomy of Couture,” saw Valentino unveil more than 60 looks at its salons in the French capital’s Place Vendôme on Wednesday. Though older and plus-size models do make very occasional appearances in haute couture — the rarefied world of “high dressing” that sees elaborate garments made entirely by hand — Piccioli’s casting was notable for its broad diversity of ages, races and body types.
His lineup included fuller-figured models like Angeer Amol and Devyn Garcia, as well as several others in their 40s and 50s, including Marie Sophie Wilson. Black and Asian models, from up-and-comers to industry stalwarts like Adut Akech, also featured prominently.
In its show notes, the brand said it was “rethinking the rituals and processes of couture” and “promoting an idea of beauty that is not absolute.” Piccioli did not design the collection with a singular body type in mind, the fashion house wrote, but rather “on a variety of women with different body frames and ages.”
It’s very unfortunate for ugly people that physical human beauty is literally absolute. It is an objective reality, as it is based on sexual attraction, and sexual attraction is based on the subconscious mind identifying signals of fertility.
Fat and old people are not fertile, and asymmetrical features indicate low genetic fidelity.
An actual attempt to “deconstruct notions of beauty” would look at this – the biological realities that cause men to be attracted to specific types of women.
But there isn’t anything to “deconstruct,” because we already know, and it is actually just self-evident. When a man sees an attractive woman, he immediately attempts to glance at her breasts, hips, and ass. He does this subconsciously.
I read a book once about body language with a section advising women about how to do a job interview with a male interviewer, and it said the first thing the woman needs to do is look away while standing with her body visible and shifting around slightly so that the man can glance at her breasts and butt. It said that if the man does not get a chance to do this, his subconscious mind will keep wanting him to do it, and it will cause him to be agitated.
This isn’t some moral issue. It’s not an ideological issue. It’s just biological fact.
This is why people say: “the Jews are at war with nature.”
