Ban on skinny models shocks fashion world

FINALLY -- someone is DOING SOMETHING about the unhealthy and unrealistic way 'perfect women' are portrayed! KUDOS to MADRID!

thank God no ones perfect and neither should the models be

Those models set the standard for today's youth. Is it any wonder that the incidence if eating disorders is skyrocketing among teenage girls? Is it any wonder that they are skipping lunch or starving themselves in the pursuit of the "perfect body" ?
It is absolutely sickening how skinny some of these girls are.
I am glad to see someone put their foot down. Now somebody PLEASE hand these twigs a sandwich - heavy on the mayo!

About damn time they showed REAL people instead of skanks who look like Pez dispensers.

oh wow i totally forgot how women are supposed to actually look ..this will be somewhat shocking...almost traumatic. you mean woman can actually have YIKES, some body fat in spots? i wonder if this will really fly . let's see

Throughout the millenia the beauty of a woman's body has always been portrayed with CURVES.

What do you all expect,with the fashion houses mostly run by gay dudes? What in the world do they know about a voluptous woman? They want girls who look like guys. It`s about time the fashion world sees REAL women again,not coke-addicted stick figures.

i'm happy for those models. because if the camera adds 10lbs,damn,those girls are walking skeletons

Isn't that like "alone together" or "jumbo shrimp" or maybe "burning cold".

Absolutely right, anyway.

I wanted to say the "f" word,but decided to give this PC language a shot. I did,it sucks,now I`m going back to being an opinionated a-hole again (just the way I like it).

Not only are most fashion designers homosexuals designing for women that they are not attracted to anyway it seems to me that these models convey what these homosexuals would see in a man in drag or a tall skinny teen boy with little to no breasts that are barely visible under the clothes, wig, makeup and the hips of a 14 year old boy.

That and it takes considerably less yards of very expensive fabric to dress one skinny model.

It also is harder to be a tailor and dress a man than to design clothes for women.

Tailors are pretty good at that industry.

I bet all the dick-smoking booty bandits are up in arms about this now. They have to design clothes for REAL women!(Oh! I think I`m gonna swoon!)

The first thing they should do is get rid of those "skinny" black jeans from the Gap.

That is amazing since those guys are literally swimming in wealth.

But if they made more than one they would be knocking themselves off.

Even using the same cloth twice would be "gauche" or "tacky" or "clash" with another client.

Every outfit has to be absolutely "fagulous."
