Fashion shows that now feature very muscular models

Is this a new thing? I've never noticed it before, but I've seen some recent images:

They're clearly not posing on stage, but rather walking down a catwalk like models at a fashion show. Does anyone know anything more about these shows?

looks like this for a legit production, for Fashion Week in Miami--dunno how Dani or Yarishna were roped in other than that they're extremely popular in their arenas and a bit outside of the fitness space, and adversiting different bodies/builds for their swimwear. or other reasons but don't matter to me the more this shows up the better for all of us

Wow i noticed an increase in tickness in these fashion shows for a while .compared to back in the day where they where all skinny but this is next level .but i think it probably won't be that common in the future because these fashion shows like to be qurky and unique to stand out. usually they just do it by making weird funny clothes .

but still i used to watch a lot of fashion shows on tv because there wasn't much sexy stuff to enjoy back then. but once i got decent internet i stopped caring about fashion shows because fbbs and other strong women are much hotter and i can just Google them now .but recently i have been captivated by the big legs current fashion models got. so things are going in the right direction for sure.

Even if they don't flex, you can see they do carry meat on their bones. Here's Gaby De Paula in slo-mo:

Its about time this happened. I remember in the 90's/2000's some catwalk girls had good abs but nothing else. Let's hope this is here to stay.

Just keep in mind that fashion designers never want models who are TOO striking. They want viewers' attention on the clothes, not the models.

Definitely hope this trend continues. Amanda Saccomanno (fka WWE's Mandy Rose) did her thing at Miami Swim Week as well.

They do want viewers' attention, but it doesn't mean that they don't want "striking" models. The more striking they are, the more attention the show will attract, and even if only 1 out of 10 of those viewers notice the clothes, it's still a win for them.

While the models are fit women who are considerably meatier than the Twiggy-style ladies of the runway of my youth, they hardly qualify as "very muscular."

I do remember in the 00s that the fashion shows were getting a lot of flack because some of the models were too skinny up to being unhealthy because the fashion designers wanted their models to fit into their clothes to show off like elf says.

I don't pay too much attention to these shows anyways.

And there's nothing supporting anything...it's an actual struggle against gravity here. Some of them actually look like videogame characters' mods.

implants are a hell of a drug

This has to be one of the best videos I've ever seen period.

Even then, silicone / saline water have weight XD. I say fbb contests should be held with (decent-sized) pasties and C-strings as mandatory garments: competition suits tops are too rigid and hollow, working many times like crinolines to add upper torso volume. And straps sometimes get in the visual way.
