LFW. Were there less ‘anorexic’ models there this year round?
The link here is of a review from last years LFW (London Fashion Week) written by a former model and anorexic sufferer. It highlights especially just how scary it is that less and less people even bat an eye lid when someone so shockingly skinny walks down the catwalk. It seems that to fashion designers, whether they admit it or not, think the skinnier the model the better.
This year, after watching the live streams and flicking through the website photographs, i can see an improvement in the weights of the models, although still too thin for the average person/normal looking human being to be, less had elbows that could take an eye out or rib cages like xylophones. We can only hope that as more magazines, tv programmes etc continue to promote good body weights and womanly curves more people will start to seek out other role models that arent just sticks with heads.
