Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

Well, it looks like the fashion industry here in the U.S. is pretty slow to catch onto this serious issue - the “thin model” issue.  According to Ernest Schmatolla over at Daily Fashion Report, the CFDA along with other professionals involved in the fashion industry decided to set these “guidelines” to help with this issue.  Ok, hold tight, ladies and gentlemen.  These are the guidelines:

1.  Provide more nutritious food backstage for the models during shows
2.  Schedule fittings earlier
3.  Advising models to get more sleep

Huh?  Really, that’s all that they could come up with?  Are they really serious about helping these girls?  

Are we going to see any changes?  I doubt it.  But that doesn’t mean that we stop spreading the word and informing young girls how unhealthy it is to be that skinny.  

One day they’ll get it.
