I am a 16 year old and am increasingly shocked and disgusted by this concept of size 0!!( UK 4)
I think fashion houses who promote this deathly skinny look should be ashamed as no healthy person, even a naturally skinny model, should be a size 4. I understand that there are naturally skinny people and they shouldn’t be condemned for being skinny, but the idea that models are being told to go and shed pound just to fit into the ridiculously tiny sample size clothes is absolutely horrendous!! There is no need for them to make clothes sooo small….What happened to celebrating a womens curves for God’s sakes. However, my main concern is the affect that this attitude that ‘skinny is sexy’ is having on teenage girls my own age, who are increasingly being lured into this idea that ‘FOOD IS EVIL!’ What sort of image is the fashion industry and fashion magazines giving off by constantly reinforcing this idea of ‘cult diets’ and ‘size 0′ The fashion industry needs to take responsibility!!
