I am just going to go out on a limb and say that I like the VS Fashion Show. I like what it markets (in terms of product) and I personally see fashion as art. I think it's empowering to take something as uncomfortable, and unpleasant to wear as a bra and make it empowering and beautiful for those who are wearing it and those who will see it on them!
BUT, I do think the VS fashion show, and fashion in general can improve to accommodate all body types (both men and women). I understand that some people dislike fashion but in reality it's just art! I think if you want to follow it and present yourself to the world in a well put together way everyday then that is positive, to judge people based on it is not.
Keep in mind that there are women of the "VS model" figure, and they should be made to be beautiful BUT people shouldn't be told that they need to be that way in order to be beautiful. I know this is another subject as well but I don't believe in embracing anything but healthy and natural. If someone is naturally skinny, so be it, but people aren't naturally obese except under very specific circumstances which require (usually) hormonal treatment, etc. I don't judge people on their weight, but I do hope that people strive to be healthy! I have my personal preferences for my weight and for my spectrum of attraction but that doesn't mean I cannot love a certain person with a specific body type etc.
I don't think the concept of fashion is rubbish, but I do think the capitalist side of it can be!
