Excessos da moda : consequências sociais e jurídicas

Abstract

The fashion market, stereotyped in excessive thinness, harms the fundamental right to health, dictates beauty standards that affect both professional models and ordinary women. The research looks at the commercial and historical construction of fashion and how it has become one of the greatest influences of human culture. Through this perspective we intend to answer the following research question: What guarantees does the Brazilian State give to the profession of female model? The main objective is to identify if Brazil offers legal protection to model rights, the secondary objectives are: to promote literature review from 2014 to June 2019 and to register the Brazilian reality experienced by professional women of fashion. The methods developed in this research provided: to raise the state of the art, to identify the Brazilian reality and to point out the international protective legislation. It is intended to collaborate with the scientific knowledge to the extent that it was possible to detect some of the effects caused by the extreme thinness imposed on the models. For future studies it is intended to apply the same considerations and the same research path, to raise the negative consequences that affect male models affected by extreme thinness. Also, keeping the same methodological path, identify the social aggressions dictated by the standards for the plus size models.
