Vogue Editor Calls an End to Size Zero Models
Don't ask me how I missed this one but recently Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman has been hailed as "hugely brave" after calling out leading designers who force fashion magazines to have to use "size zero" models. She said that the clothes created by designers for the catwalk which were then sent to magazines as samples for photo shoots had become "substantially smaller" and "minuscule" and that Vogue now had to "retouch" photographs "to make the models appear larger" and by larger I'm guessing she means more healthy looking. How ridiculous is that? I'm calling her "my hero" because finally someone actually working for an extremely well known fashion magazine is speaking up and we are not just hearing it from the public.
In a letter sent to some main fashion houses including Prada, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel, Shulman wrote: "We have now reached a point where many of the sample sizes don't comfortably fit even the established star models. Instead, we have had to use girls with jutting bones and no breasts or hips, to fit them." She added: "I am finding that the feedback from my readers and the general feeling in the UK is that people don't really want to see such thin girls."
