According to Reuters, the Spanish like a little meat on their bones.
The world’s first ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show in Madrid has caused outrage among modeling agencies and raised the prospect of restrictions at other catwalk pageants.
Madrid’s fashion week has turned away underweight models after protests that young girls and women were trying to copy their rail-thin looks and developing eating disorders.
Organizers say they want to project an image of beauty and health, rather than a waif-like, or heroin chic look.
This seems to be a quest by another image-making industry for authenticity.
Honestly, I’ve had eating disorders since I was in High school. Indeed , they have strong influence over thousands of youth out there. It is quite harsh but it is a fact.
