No, models generally do not have small hips.
Hip Measurements in Modeling
The statement that "Models usually have at least a size 34B bra and hips around 10” bigger than their waist" indicates that a significant hip-to-waist ratio is common among models. This contradicts the idea of models having small hips. While the exact measurements vary greatly depending on the model and the type of modeling, a substantial hip measurement is more typical than small hips. A strong physical presence is considered more important than specific size in many cases.
-
Emphasis on Body Proportions: The focus is less on individual measurements (like hip size) and more on overall body proportions and how the model presents themselves. A model's unique physique is valued over adherence to a specific hip size.
-
Diversity in Modeling: The fashion industry is becoming increasingly diverse, reflecting a broader range of body types and sizes. This means the notion of a "standard" hip size for models is becoming less relevant.
-
Specific Modeling Niches: The type of modeling influences the ideal body type. For example, runway models may have different body requirements than commercial models or plus-size models.
Therefore, the statement that "models have small hips" is inaccurate. While some individual models may have relatively smaller hips, the overall trend suggests a larger hip measurement than waist measurement, reflecting a defined and proportionate figure.
