Overly-thin models banned from Madrid fashion show


This article is quite interesting. It's the first fashion show to impose such a ban, and it may be setting a precedent.

Many women's groups claim that the overly-thin models create a dangerous image for young girls to imitate. They say that fashion's and Hollywood's obsession with dangerously unhealthy slim performers is contributing to the rise in eating disorders among teenage girls.

The fashion industry claims that it is merely a reflection of society.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've never seen someone this thin in my entire life. So much for being a reflection of my society. Perhaps Hollywood and the fashion world moved to a poor starving African nation without telling anyone?
