    No. Like everything else, these things go in trends. We're already seeing the start of a backlash against ultra-skinny, "heroine chic" models.

    Also, the fashion industry isn't out to create a moral environment. They create fashion. We should let them do what they do best. Leave health to the professionals who do that. If someone has a low self-image and strives to mimic super-skinny models, it's not the model's fault or the designer's. The problem is much deeper than that and deserves individual attention, not a ineffective blanket "solution".

    • Thanks. I don't think it's healthy for the models or people trying to look like them, but trying to adopt a standard "healthy size" requirement would be like putting a Band Aid on an amputation.
