      “On my busiest day, I tried on 500 dresses and felt so exhausted and dazed I could barely stand up,” Wu says. She kept modeling for more than 10 hours, and her voice grew hoarse from shouting for sales.

      It’s not only cheap retailers. I used to work for a higher end (prices ranging from $200-500) brand in the states and our product shoots for the season were done in the span of five days. The models change around 200 times per day, they do get paid a bit more though ($3k per day).

    for everyone saying what the purpose of this job is, she doesn't work in a regular retail shop; it's wholesale for sellers to buy. they use her because she's a "standard" (aka the desirable shape that they try to market). they do it in the West too, wholesale and haute couture houses all have showroom models, though I don't believe it's this hectic.

      On the other hand, pay seems very good from my perspective, I don't know how expensive it is to live there but here, 5000 a month... yum! And that pay is honestly better than what most low rate models get for small runways and shoots. Plus, this is so busy, and it seems that she works every day in the store (or every work day, idk) and usually the store has one, or maximum 3 models... thus it is also more secure than the other types of low rate modeling where you can easily be replaced. More easily, that is.

She made this choice for money, so I don't understand why do people feel sorry for her, it's like feeling sorry for a lawyer who earns $1000 a day because she is a workaholic. The currency exchange rate means that she actually gets a good deal.

Different body type, different skin complexion, different everything! So even if she wore an outfit you wanted, it would look completely different if you tried it on. She looks so tired too, I hope she's ok and she gets a better, less tiring job.

      A human is not a mannequin. Manequinns only show some of the outfits in the shop, not putting on outfit after outfit because a customer requested it. Plus, Wu Anning sounds absolutely tired and older than she is. She said it her self that she puts on more than 500 outfits, her feet get hurt from standing all day, and she can't even put on her own clothes when it gets cold because she's stuck being a human mannequin, which I'm sure causes stress too.

    From the title I thought this would be about the models that work for cheap online shops. They also have to work very fast and get paid very little.

    One thing I started to notice in asian model pictures from many asian clothing brands, is the model's feet. They often look red with veins protruding like they're about to pop and explode. It stunned me at first, because the rest of the picture is spotless to alien-like perfection. The feet are the only part of their body that was not only not heavily photoshopped, but not touched at all. Like an eerie cry for help. The evidence they forgot to cover up.
    I'm most likely waay over dramatizing this, since feet are definitely the most neglected parts of the human body, but what I'm most concerned about is how the model was treated and it doesn't seem like they're cared for very well.
    This could also occur in other model pics, not just asian pics, it's just that I love kfashion and often end up looking at those images specifically.

    • @stefanmakara373
      @stefanmakara373 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't mean to be heartless, but models are people like everyone else and they don't need to be 'cared for'. They are employees, plain and simple. If they are paid, the company is doing its job. The reason why they have sore feet is because they wear high heels a lot. That is something they choose to do for a living. Soreness is not a cry for help, it is just a normal bodily reaction.

    She is lucky. I think only Westerners believe in the concept of “happiness” or “passion”. It’s just not realistic to think about such things. Most kids outside of the West don’t grow up with a garden and a house. If you can find a job that pays good, you keep it until you have the money to move on to the next.
    I spent most of my childhood selling trinkets on the sidewalk. That was fine. I was fine. I’m not horribly poor and living on the street. My parents aren’t abusive. It was just a way to make money.
    There are lots of jobs and only a tiny bit are on the level of what Westerners consider a “normal” job. There are worse things a beautiful young woman could be doing.

    I don't mean disrespect to anyone, but to all the people feeling sorry for her and saying she needs to earn more:
    $5000/ month is a LOT of money in China. it's roughly equivalent to 20000 Yuan, which is what a lot of people in China earn a YEAR. So she's getting well compensated for this. The stress of the work is what also makes it lucrative. It's like surgeons earning $300000 in the US. Does anyone feel sorry for them and hope they can become "top surgeons" and earn even more money?
    Also, no one is forcing her to do this.
    There are a lot of very pretty models (being pretty is basically a requirement) and in the large scheme of things she is not especially more eye-catching. It would be disingeuous to suggest that all pretty models deserve to become top models. Again, no disrespect, but I don't see how anyone "deserves" anything like that, since it's very unlikely for anyone to become a top model without nepotism involved.
