People in the industry like the new ad. Designers Dolce & Gabbana said, "Finally someone tells the truth, which is that (anorexia) is not the fault of the fashion industry but a psychological problem." Giorgio Armani is quoted as saying, "I think that these campaigns, with such harsh images, are just and well-timed."
Well, doctors say otherwise. Some of them think that these types of images perpetuate these behaviors. The reasoning is that women will see this picture and want to become like the girl in the picture.
My thoughts: If a woman looks at that ad and seriously wants to be like that, then there are some real psychological issues at hand. However, I still believe that the fashion industry still ads fuel to the fire by pressuring models to be thin.

WOW! Maybe the point is there would not be any psychological problems if there was not pressure to be a rail from the industry, I agree with you.
