Less anorexic models

By Heraclitus

You've probably heard that Madrid and now Milan have taken steps to ban overly skinny models from their high-fashion shows. Better late than never, I suppose, but does anyone know why now, after years, if not decades, of concern and criticism of the unhealthy ideal of beauty promoted by fashion advertising? The extent of my experience with name designers was going to a three-for-one sale at Tom's Place in Kensington Market (although the sale I went to was actually at the JCC at Bloor and Spadina), so I'm afraid I don't have much insight on this.


[Ed. note: Heraclitus is referring to the great city of Toronto, wherein lies the intersection of Bloor and Spadina. -- MJWS]
