New York Fasion Week responds responsibly to use of thin models
Filed under: Places To Go, That's Entertainment
The New York Fashion Week, scheduled to begin this Friday, has a made a few changes to its line up. The use of super skinny models is out this year. This issue has been red hot this year, making headlines again and again.
Although a rare few of us ever make it to these shows, the images are broadcast across the Internet and the styles trickle down to the major stores where most of us can afford to shop. As a result, these shows actually do have an impact on our daughters. And as a mother of a fashion hungry 'tween, I am more than excited to hear that the super skinny models are being sent elsewhere. Maybe they are being ordered to eat a balanced meal so that they can come back to runway. What do you think? Good move for the fashion industry?

Melissa said...I would rather see a mix of body types on the runway, as it seems that by banning the super skinnies, we are simply replacing one set of ideals with another. Some people (not me) naturally do look like that, and they shouldn't be penalized.

Jessica said...But, Melissa, I would venture that most of the women on the runway's are not that naturally thin and do, in fact, harm their bodies to maintain that size.
I am very proud of the industry and I think it is about time. I just thank Dove b/c I believe they started this trend with their Real Beauty campaign.
