somali fashion models (that aren't iman or halima)

[Villainess]

there are actually a lot of requirements for high fashion models
you have to be 5'8 to 5'11
57 to 64 cm waist
long neck
photogenic
you have to be at least 55kg or less
late teens to mid twenties



the average woman doesn't have all these

let's do me
you have to be 5'8 to 5'11
57 to 64 cm waist ✔

photogenic... not sure. I never took an actual photo since forever
you have to be at least 55kg or less✔
late teens to mid twenties✔

put me on the runway.

Unpopular opinion, I don’t get the hype around the south Sudanese models. They have the perfect body for modelling but their faces are strangely round and chubby (for an otherwise skinny body).

But still miles ahead of ugly white models.

The last person in the first post was very pretty

If I remember correctly this lady got into the modelling industry because she victimized her way in. There were few other Xalimos that did the same thing calling themselves "refuge", "black African" and "Hijabi".

All I'm saying is the model industry should be privileged and only the finest Somalis should be accepted. I feel like Somalis deserve a better representation. The same thing for Hollywood.

I’m talking about high fashion modeling not commercial.

commercial models can be any height, shape, or size

I'm 5'5 but I do look tall. It's the slender body that makes someone look tall

I think they get casted because they tend to naturally be tall and thin. They are almost always exclusively thin. Also the brand wins diversity points. I wish they weren’t forced to be bald to keep this weird androgynous look.

They only get average looking or straight up ugly ones to represent us to make the world believe that’s the best Somalia (or Africa in general) can do

Donna is GORGEOUS mA. Her round, big eyes and high cheekbones are a thing made of dreams mashallah tabarakallah.

The rest are average, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I agree.

Models are basically professional clothes hangers. I'm not being rude, nor am I talking about these girls specifically, but I don't find models attractive on average. Even the non Somali ones. They are meant to be super skinny, especially the catwalk ones and I find that of putting.

The big one is riding off the backs of people's obsession with big bums and hips. She also has a very small waist. Prettylittle things caters towards that urban bbl look as well now. So I see why, even though hijab and tight clothes does not make sense in the slightest.

Being 5'8+ and less than 55kg is dimasho. No wonder some of them look like malnutritioned walking skeletons. Doesn't sound healthy.

Can't lie but I've never seen uglier somali faces than theirs, istaqfurulah may allah forgive me for making fun of his creation
