It seems that the fashion world IS taking steps against anorexic models: First the BMI rule, now this. And American designers are already following this rule. Look up Crystal Renn. She opened for Calvin Klein, and is considered a plus sized model. She used to be an anorexic model, but is now probably the biggest spokesperson against them.

I wait for the day they have normal size women on the catwalk in high fashion that actually fits and suits.

How does he keep getting away with this rubbish?

However I think on a practical and a business level it makes sense to have various shaped woman wearing new designs on the catwalk.
