LONDON (Reuters) - A furore about overly thin models caused London Fashion Week on Friday to cancel its opening photocall after being criticised for not banning super-skinny women from its catwalks.

The British Fashion Council (BFC), organisers of the five-day event, scrapped the photocall after receiving a barrage of criticism for refusing to follow the lead taken by Madrid and turn away models under a certain size.

I personally hate the 0 size look, much prefer women with some bootaye. Its also so unrealistic.

the fashion industry tricks impressionable women (suckers) into believeing they have to be anorexic/bolemic to be beautiful.

It also impacts on younger girls giving them a false image to be peer pressured with, the only thing i hate more is Paris Hilton ala stupid whore video playset.

Jesus, JK Rowling's getting involved? disgust That woman needs to shut up, and finish writing her bloody books so everyone can start ignoring her and damm Harry Potter.

I agree that they need more realistically sized models, and that the fashion industry needs to start letting people know that damage models do to their body by staying that thin.

Ever consider perhaps it's because they are damaging their own bodies and portraying an image that is unattainable but impressionable young girls will still attempt to reach, often becoming anorexic in the process.

I've seen that kind of influence in action, and it's not a pretty sight.

Hey, guys?

Soleran's trolling. Don't feed him.

I have to say a person can tell when someone looks anorexic.........and it's not a great role model for girls.......especially when just 40 years ago it was the voluptuous that were considered sexy, ya know curves.....These new girls seem to have sunk in eyes and the clothes just hang off them, you can even see their hip bones............signs of starving themselves............not good.

Then surely 'girls' know this too? Unless they blindly base their personal appearance upon fashion models, in which case we can all start despairing.

I can't stand this Spanish feminist bullshit. Spain sucks donkeydick if they don't expect women to be thin enough to be attractive. Shoot the fatasses, shoot the mouthy hairy broads, and shoot whoever came up with Fatass Fashion Week. Gimme the anorexic nymphomaniacs with titties the size of beachballs any day.

You seem to be obsessed with the whole sucking of dick process!

Make 'em think normal is wrong, skinny is good, so the diet industry can keep on boomin'. Just one example of the make-'em-sick-then-sell-'em-the-cure facet of our free market economy. Hip-hip-hoorah!

BTW, women with curves beat toothpicks anyday. Damn, if you're gonna be female and starve yourself into having nothing, then what's the point? Might as well be a guy with zero muscle tone.

Was that too harsh?
rolling on floor laughing

Trickster
I think the question is: Was that harsh at all?

What, ther has ever been a time in the last few years when there haven't been super skinny models drifting about?

Personally it is more then a little bit of a turn off with unnaturally thin forms. The waifish look, when natural, can be aesthetically good, but some of those models are just... over the top. Icky. And unhealthy.
