Yes. I applaud the Spanish designer who refused to use the super thin models in his show. It' teaching young, very impressionable girls, that "thin is equated with beauty or perfection" which is SOOOO far from the truth!

Yes a very bad one! No normal human female should look like that! It encourages Anorexia and Bulimia in young girls or gives the ones who dont fit the type and never could low self esteem! We cant all be 5ft 8ins and size 0! But this encourages the very ones who should never diet to do so! Even 10 year olds have been seriously anorexic which is a frightening thing!!!

Yes, they should be utterly ashamed of themselves for promoting stick thin models, is it any wonder so many young kids have eating disorders today, a lot of kids are under enough pressure trying to fit in without them half killing themselves trying to be stick thin because magazines and the media are promoting it as fashionable, I wish the health guru's would step in and demand stick thin models be classed as a government health warning to any young vulnerable kid or anyone foolish enough to think its cool to be so thin.

Yes!! And as for that designer who refused models under a certain weight I don't know why they were applauding him because didn't he say he didn't want any models with a BMI under 18? Well a BMI of 18 is still underweight. In order to be within a healthy weight range you need a BMI of at 18.5 - 25

Think:
Which is the real value of fashion world at all?
Who will use that things?
Or live like that models?
It is surreal life. Not for ppl.
The root of this world is based in fake images, fake lifestyles.
So, how could it be a good example?

Very much so. These ultra-skinny models are making society focus on weight instead of what really matters. Models should be/look healthy, not stick thin.

Not just bad, very dangerous. And, if you think about it, what's so beautiful about looking at a walking cadaver? In the 1920s, 30s and 40s, the most beautiful women had some curves!

I'm not going to stray too far into the ethical/morality section of this debate, but does everyone look anorexic? Do blokes find flat-chested stick figures attractive? I, for one, certainly don't, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Of course it is setting a bad example to some impressionable individuals, and for what?

They are.
Only about 2 percent of women are that thin. Naturally.
What's worse is that I am built like that, but my sister isn't. Even though she's a size 0 she's still curvier than I am. She thinks she needs to diet, and I'm having a helluva time trying to convincer that she does NOT.

They are indeed. But the truth of the matter is that it works for fashion. OK maybe not the SUPER slim ones .. But in all fairness clothes arnt as flattering on a size 14 woman in comparason to Adrianna Lima .. And at the end of the day designers just wana sell their clothes ...
