There is concern that the body size of fashion store mannequins are too thin and promote unrealistic body ideals. To date there has been no systematic examination of the size of high street fashion store mannequins.
We surveyed national fashion retailers located on the high street of two English cities. The body size of 'male' and 'female' mannequins was assessed by two blinded research assistants using visual rating scales.
The average female mannequin body size was representative of a very underweight woman and 100% of female mannequins represented an underweight body size. The average male mannequin body size was significantly larger than the average female mannequin body size. Only 8% of male mannequins represented an underweight body size.
The body size of mannequins used to advertise female fashion is unrealistic and would be considered medically unhealthy in humans.
人们担心时装店人体模特的体型过于消瘦,宣扬了不切实际的身体理想标准。迄今为止,尚未对商业街时装店人体模特的尺寸进行系统研究。
我们调查了位于英国两个城市商业街的全国性时尚零售商。两名不知情的研究助理使用视觉评定量表评估了“男性”和“女性”人体模特的体型。
女性人体模特的平均体型代表了体重极轻的女性,100%的女性人体模特呈现出体重过轻的体型。男性人体模特的平均体型显著大于女性人体模特的平均体型。只有8%的男性人体模特呈现出体重过轻的体型。
用于展示女性时尚的人体模特的体型不切实际,从医学角度看,人类若如此体型会被认为不健康。
