At 18, Maud Le Fort left Toulouse for Paris with dreams in her head. The young woman was just starting out in modeling, she aspired to show for the biggest fashion designers. But Maud was “curvy”, that is to say a model with shapes. He was asked to lose a lot of weight. One day, the Toulouse woman said stop. The thirty-year-old poses for photographers today.
Maud Le Fort will not show at Paris Fashion Week. She prefers photo shoots to catwalks, where she faces less pressure because of her shape. Unhealthy weight loss, ban on “gain muscle“, depression, eating disorders: “one day I said stop. I’m going to eat, I’m going to exercise“, says the thirty-year-old from Toulouse, who moved to Paris at the age of 18.
“At the beginning I was put as a commercial model, I had a 36.60 cm waist measurement, 85C chest size. I was “curvy”, that is to say a model with shapes“. However, she managed to parade for Armani, Balmain, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Yohji Yamamoto.
In Paris, I was immediately told that I was only going to do lingerie and perhaps very commercial things, but not much fashion because I had too many shapes.

“The more weight I lost, the more praise I received.”
“During a trip to Milan, I was told “you can do fashion, as long as you lose a little hip“The agency in Paris also advised me to lose hips below 90 centimeters.” To parade in France, she had to lose a lot of weight. “I was measured almost every day. And the more weight I lost, the more praise I received. These were huge restrictions.“, says the woman who weighed 49 kilos and was 1.81 meters tall, before saying no and starting therapeutic work. Today “acceptance of my body is still not complete, I do not have a completely healthy relationship with food“, entrusts the young lady who takes acting classes to improve her self-confidence.
She considers that “France and Italy remain particularly obsessed with thinness“and regrets that his photos are systematically retouched.”This pisses off the young girls who are going to watch us. This creates a completely unattainable image. It’s absolutely shocking and it’s sad“, she emphasizes.
Today there are some examples of star models with shapes like Kendall Jenner or Gigi Hadid. Girls from show business families who were famous before modeling.
