These women are slender and near-flat-chested, and would function well as “clothes hangars” in fashion shows, but will not be seen among the ranks of high-fashion models for obvious reasons

its more important that the model have broad shoulders than a perfectly flat chest. this way theclothes fall in a perfect vertical line from the shoulder---hence mimicking a hanger. the shoulders just aren't wide enough.
morgane dubled is one of the top runway models---mostly for her body. the models can have a chest--but broad shoulders are a must. http://supermodels.nl/ModelPics/morganedubled/20.jpg

Kristin: These women would be rejected for not having broad shoulders? What is this? Not all high-fashion models have broad shoulders, including a number who approximate the looks of boys in their early adolescence. Non-broad shoulders are not a problem when it comes to displaying clothing; consider the following pictures of one of the women shown above:
The “perfect vertical line” makes little sense when the fashion models will be swinging their arms, moving their shoulders and swaying their hips as they walk, and also in many cases wearing a shirt/dress that is supposed to taper toward the waist.
The women would be rejected for not being boyish for slender and small-breasted women (of course they are not skinny enough either).
actually the women you just posted have decent fashion bodies cuz their shoulders are slightly broader than their hips or are equal. they arealso thin enough--as there are models thickerf wh make loads of cash... its their faces that would give them the boot(or really their hair)
lastly in some ways narrow shoulders are problematic. the average woman in america has a rectangular figure---not a hourglass. as a woman with narrow shoulders, its hard to get clothes to hang right on me since the garment industry has respond to the new, emerging figure from the masses-- broad shoulders/back, thick waist, semi-full hips. the article below refers to the phenomena in american women, but it is also present in british women as well( and of course most all americans are of british decent---even african-americans)

Kristin: The faces of the women would obviously get them rejected...for not being masculine enough. On the other hand, your comment about average women is irrelevant; models are not randomly drawn from the general population, and one could always design clothing to fit narrow shoulders. Besides, there is a substantial non-British element in America: German, Scandinavian, etc.
I could look at Katya all day long ... Mmmmmmmmmmm nice
They are rejected for not looking unique and uncommon enough, not because their faces are not "masculine" enough.
Models have to be tall, thin, and look interesting/exotic. Not like common women. Why is that so hard for you to grasp? Models are not the girl next door they are something entirely different.
