The New York Fashion Week this year started from 7 Sept to 13 Sept 2023 and was held in Mercedes-Benz Manhattan.
In an industry that celebrates perfection, models are often tasked with maintaining an idealised body image that can exact a severe toll on their physical and mental health. The relentless pursuit of this image leads to stringent dietary restrictions, intense workout routines, and sleepless nights. The pressure to fit into sample sizes can be immense, leading to unhealthy habits and a constant battle with body image.

The fear of wardrobe malfunctions is ever-present, with models donning intricate and sometimes precarious outfits. Walking in sky-high heels becomes a delicate art, and one misstep can lead to painful blunders on the runway. The gruelling hours and multiple runway walks in a day, combined with the chaos of backstage preparations, test the resilience of these individuals, who are expected to maintain an illusion of perfection.
