Skinny Models Getting Skinnier? What will it take to change the fashion industry's preference to be extra thin?


It seemed like the models were getting even skinner at New York Fashion Week. Last year’s campaign against super thin girls appears to be a thing of the past. A small group of protesters gathered outside the Bryant Park Tents with placards saying... “Feed The Models.” Few people even noticed.

According to the New York Post the situation is worse than ever …. "Show producers are force-feeding models nuts and orange juice to keep their blood-sugar levels up. And at Jeffrey Chow's first collection for the Poleci presentation Saturday night, one girl actually passed out. Producers had to put cold Coca-Cola cans on her head and feed her fruit to bring her back."
