They just want androgynous (sp? rough morning) droids, breathing mannequins, women who's faces are so plain that it "doesnt detract from the clothes". Its disgusting, insulting, and infuriating. I think with the rise of equality among the sexes, we'll see more of these initiatives and I applaud France for being the forerunner, as the world's leaders in fashion. If anyone was going to do it, it HAD to be France. <BR/><BR/>"It's not the body's fault if the clothes don't fall right, it's the designer's lack of imagination and technique." Spot on! <BR/><BR/>Anyone else see Nicky Hilton lately? She is in DENIAL! She says she doesnt have an eating disorder, but anytime you see someone's thighs get thinner (instead of wider) as they reach the pelvic area, has neither muscle nor fat, and is unhealthy. You can tell a LOT simply by looking at the girls' thighs. Skinny and fit girls still have a woman's thighs, unhealthy girls do not.Trixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01352976662553945963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-26314060835505629372008-04-15T12:17:00.000-07:002008-04-15T12:17:00.000-07:00after this post EL- dinner is on me sweetcheeks!<BR/><BR/>my future bro in law is a famous Spanish designer and he won't use skinny models because as he puts it "i design for women not the fucking hanger"<BR/>amen...amen.<BR/><BR/>as for Donatella..where you think her daughter learned it? you're a Versace and your daughter is wasting away to nothing- make the connection!jaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13009699859972498455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-30868043574368864492008-04-15T12:05:00.000-07:002008-04-15T12:05:00.000-07:00Did you see "Make Me a Super Model?"

Your last sentence speaks volumes about the fashion industry. Before factory automation, clothes were actually constructed on living, breathing "fit models" and although those ladies were slightly thinner and slightly taller than average (I'm talking 5'7" and 110--115 LBS)they weren't as extreme. Not by a longshot.<BR/><BR/>And think of all the innovations in fashion, the TRUE classics that were born of that era: the Chanel skirt suit. The bikini. The collections of Halston and Calvin Klein (back when CK started, not now). <BR/><BR/>The clothes now are just so....disposable. And unattractive. And instead of muses like Ava Gardner and Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, we get the Olsen twins.

Your comment about how France doing it will have everyone doing it was a good point. I have heard of similar proposed bans in other European countries (anti-size 0 regulations, etc.) but France is a center of the fashion world and will have a huge impact. I have to say it makes me cheer a bit. I don't have anything against women who are naturally that skinny, but I am extremely tired of every runway show having the same set of models that look like they were cloned from some "skinny" gene template. Hopefully a ban would force some designers to be more creative. It's the body's fault if the clothes don't fall right, it's the designer's lack of imagination and technique.Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05036209568478089424noreply@blogger.com
