In a model school at the time, the students had one goal: to have the right measurements for the job. 

The principal of the school is clear: “We have to make her lose weight.

You have to refine the neck, choose a deceptively vulgar makeup, make your hairstyle much more daring.

In other words, change everything!

But the students were ready to do anything to realize their dream of parading on the catwalks.
