Even the pose exacerbates the sense of the model’s thinness, shoulders hunched forward to embellish her concave chest and gangly arms.
My brother has struggled with an eating disorder for many years now in the pursuit of a modelling career and it has had such a negative impact not only on his own health and well being, but on the family too. When models say they are naturally thin and healthy, there is often a web of lies behind this. The best way to stamp out this problem and stop young models believing they must be emmaciated to succeed, is to re-educate short-sighted designers and magazine editors who demand paper thin models. By teaching these fashion impresarios proper pattern cutting skills, they could create clothes for women’s figures, instead of those cut for skinny little boys.

Last September I had the honor of attending NY Fashion Week for the first time. The audience literally gasped when certain girls would appear on the runway. I blogged about it later and some angry readers told me that I was mistaken, that all the girls were healthy but it’s true, the camera DOES add at least 5 pounds (probably more). When you see these girls in the flesh it’s really sad. I’m not saying that there aren’t a fair number of healthy models but there are enough emaciated faces to fill out an entire casting with.

I hope that the new regulations in Milan will encourage casting directors to head back to the healthy, beautiful faces.

Thanks for the post!
