Lujolos male models can win 75% less than their classmates

There may always be an exception to the rule and we have found it.In a world dominated by salary inequality, in which women are usually the injured, the balance changes meaning in the case of male models.The data confirms that women reign in the dummy universe and these can charge up to three times more than them for the same type of work.

LOS NÚMEROS NO ENGAÑAN

In 2013, Forbes magazine published the list of the ten best paid male models, a list that has not been published again since then.At that same moment, the annual income of the ten female models best paid on the same portal was also published, and the differences were abysmal.The male names were headed by Sean O'Pry.The American model that has worked with brands such as Calvin Klein or Hugo Boss, stood as the best paid model in the world, with annual income of 1.5 million in 2013, a figure that although it seems high, is ridiculous when comparing it with the42 million dollars that Giselle Bündchen charged that year, the first in the list of women.But the difference is not only critical at the individual level.Adding the ten best paid models we obtain a figure of 83.3 million dollars, which moves a lot of the 8 million that jointly charged the ten models mentioned by Forbes.

EL MISMO TRABAJO, DISTINTO SALARIO

"I think it is the only industry in which men charge less," says the BBC representative of Elizabeth Rose models, which has worked for Cindy Crawford or Naomi Campbell.Elizabeth believes that the situation is very unfair to them, and that in no case should this situation be seen as an example of woman empowerment.In addition, Elisabeth Rose explains how for the same work a male model she represents can win 2.500 dollars, while a woman could earn up to 10.000."It has always been a female industry," said David Gandy in an interview with Daily Mail, "and it is a fact that women earn more than men".The model, second on the Forbes list, explained that disadvantages are not only reflected in salary, sexing discrimination goes beyond turnover.For example, while the top models travel in first class with all kinds of privileges, they do not have that pleasure and usually travel on low cost flights, reaching their destination without sleep and in poor physical conditions to the photo sessions.

LAS RAZONES: FAMA Y LIKES

The reasons for this situation of inequality are several.First, female fashion has always had more importance than male at the business level.In an article in the ABC media, it was confirmed that the meswar.The fashion sociologist Frederic Godart, explained in an article by Huffington Post that "although the market would generate the same sales, the industry is generally moving by women".In case the above reasons were not enough, in the current world of likes and follows, the salary can depend on many things apart from the physical attributes, such as fame and repercussion in networks.If a model has a relationship with a famous or its Instagram profile has millions of followers, their rates can increase compared to that of other models.

DAVID GANDY Y LAS VENTAJAS DE SER MODELO MASCULINO

There are few models that have raised their voice in this situation. David Gandy explicó en su entrevista para el Daily Mail, cómo su agente recibía llamadas en las que le pedían trabajar con “el chico de los calzoncillos blancos”, refiriéndose a su campaña del perfume Light Blue con Dolce & Gabbanna."It cost some time that people will begin to name the underpants," David said.However, being a male model also has advantages.David Gandy states that "the bad thing is that the girls charge more, the good thing is that the boys work more".Male models usually have a longer professional career and usually reach the high -career of their career between 30 and 50 years.David Gandy explained during the interview as at the time they charge more, many many models are already withdrawn.

EL AUGE DEL MENSWEAR

Proposals like Vetements or the signing of Hedi Slimane for Céline demonstrate that the meanswear steps up stronger and stronger.Fashion journalist Vicente Gallart explains how "even today we can find certain female fashion stylists at the Fashion Weeks Male Fashion Weeks, in search of inspiration and new proposals".The male fashion is at its time of greatest growth according to the head editor of the Business of Fashion.In the period between 2010 and 2015, sales experienced a growth of 13%, 4% more than female according to the _euromonitor international figures.According to Business of Fashion, e_sto could be due to the fact that male models have a growing presence and the industry grows twice as quickly as the female.Given the acceleration of the male universe, the models are more aware of this salary gap and more and more are those that join the struggle for equality.At this rate, the phrase "being very attractive is not an easy or lucrative race for men" by Ben Stiller in Zoolander could be outdated in a short one.
