Too thin models have always been an issue in the fashion world, beginning with Kate Moss who marked the end of the supermodel and the beginning of the waif model but when did men begin to shrink too? As the clothing have become smaller for men so have the men themselves. Zachary Bailey, New York model (originally from Chicago), measures 6′1 and weighes in at an astounding 130 lbs, just 10 pounds more than I weigh myself at 5′4!
The big brauny men that the industry used to idolize are obsolete and the skinny minis are in high demand in the New York based industry. On Bravo’s Make Me A Supermodel, host and former model, Tyson Beckford has specified that the show is looking for thinner men than what the industry demanded when he landed his first contract so long ago.
