What is the difference between a stripper and a fashion model who is almost naked on stage? And why is the person who makes those clothes usually a short, old, fat man?

About 10 grand a day. Actually, there is a difference: A fashion model walking down the catwalk in the latest Gucci, Betsy Johnson or whatever is selling the idea of high-end glamor. That is the idea of wealth and power through the use of clothes, which is probably why you will always have celebrities and the very well-to-do at these shows rather than the usual crowd you see at a strip bar. When the high-end audience sees a model walking down the catwalk, the focus is more on her clothes and how she carries them rather than her body. If it was more for the sexual nature of the body, then a curvier model would be the norm rather than the sleek, almost non-curved model. (Compare a Playboy Bunny to the latest model find and you will see the difference.)
On the other hand, a stripper is portraying a different and single idea: sex. She isn’t selling the idea of ‘You too can be as glamorous as me if you have these clothes and carry them the way I do.’ Rather, a stripper is doing her catwalk dance for the sexual pleasure of her audience. And that’s it.
While there is a sexiness to a fashion show, that isn’t the direct idea, and it isn’t the only idea – unlike stripping.

A fashion model wears next to nothing to show off the flimsy bits draped about her body. Nobody really cares about her anorexic frame, nor would anyone want to see her wearing nothing, because her elongated bones only serve to hang the flimsy bits on and parade them around the catwalk.
On a more general note: though there are women in the fashion business (fashion designers such as Jill Sander, Laura Biagiotti, Donna Karan, Vivian Wood, etc.), and their fashion is just as sexy if not more so than that of the male designers, fat old males still dominate just about every top level of society because we live in a patriarchal world, the fashion biz being no exception. (Footnote: Yves St.-Laurent may be a tattering old fogey, but he’s not fat, as far as I know; I quite like his style – I only wish I could afford it…)
