Many eyes are on London Fashion Week and the big question is whether or not the organizers will also ban skinny models like Madrid producers did. The Showbuzz reports that there will not be a ban, although a British Cabinet minister is all for it.

"The fashion industry's promotion of beauty as meaning stick thin is

damaging to young girls' self image and to their health," Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell said in a statement. "Young girls aspire to look like the catwalk models. When those models are unhealthily underweight, it pressurizes girls to starve themselves to look the same."

I just learned that Michael Kors is in support of the decision to ban skinny models. Word around the blogosphere is that 5 of the 68 models have been banned so far. I’m thankful that change is happening!

Time for revolution/evolution in fashion? Oh, yes.
