I read the article today where overly thin models are not being allowed on the runway during fashion week in Madrid. The officials state this is an attempt to portray healthier, more realistic models and acknowledges the fact that young girls often use the images of the uber thin (think Kate Moss) as their ideal, which often leads to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. I tend to think of this as a positive step and am impressed tha such a huge part of the fashion industrty is finally admitting that some of the choices of the past have had horrible effects on millions of young girls.
