Quoted: U.S. Fashion Designers Propose Six 'Solid' Reasons For Not Cracking Down On Skinny Models
1) Weight-height ratios are an unfair standard because they vary naturally with age.
2) We can't tell each designer what to do.
3) Don't make models jump through a lot of hoops.
4) Thinness isn't our fault; it's growing among celebrities generally.
5) It's a problem only for models who aren't "emotionally stable."
6) Fashion will eventually solve the problem by shifting back toward curvier women.

After looking at the fat cows that pass for American women these days, these normal-sized models are a breath of freash air!
i love how anna wintour, the poster-child for promoting malnourishment, is at the forefront of the fight against skinny models!
That first one is actually a good point. Since most models are teenagers, the height-weight ratio they followshould be the one developed around adolescents, not the one developed around middle-aged women. Slight difference, maybe, but it is valid.
That said, the discrepancy probably has less to do with the height-weight ratio and more to do with a steady diet of bulimia and cocaine.
I like how the backless dress fully accentuates her ribbage.
skinny models arent that pretty and most people in the world arent that skinny and when they look that way the look gross
Im sorry, but having bones sticking out is just wrong. not to mention all the health problems that come with bing that thin. like heart problems and a higher risk of osteoporosis.
