Time for a serious note i think… OK so we know models are thin, news flash right? but I was really very shocked at the state of the Topshop model below. Just look at her cheek bones and sunken eyes. This isn’t sexy… -

The whole ‘waif’ or ‘Heroin Chic’ look, as it has become known, became popular in the early 90’s when people started looking less at the Claudia Schiffer’s and more at the Kate Moss’. The trend has stuck…

I could go on about the ’size 0′ phenomenon, but come on we’ve heard it all before and quite frankly I’m bored rigid with it all! All I’m saying is that Topshop need to really take a look at what’s attractive and what’s not. Here’s a clue; Brink of death = NOT SEXY
On a lighter note Topshop have come up with some really great dresses lately. However despite trying all of them on in a range of different sizes NONE of them suit me! Balls!

i absolutely hate that topshop model there, we have even had someone ring and complain about the posters in store so it is obviously making people feel uncomfortable!

I think wafer thin models are always going to be in the news…i partially think that maybe this is why designers tend to stick with them as there’s always going to be coverage of them, therefore even though it’s a negative manner their clothes are still on show.
To be honest i don’t think this problem is ever going to be solved…people’s tastes are constantly changing. If only we still viewed women in the way that Botticelli did!
I think Gok Wan’s How to Look Good Naked is the perfect example of what we should be doing for women now-all this model culture is not good for the self esteem of everyday healthy women.
