A Final Note: Too Thin is Never In

If you follow the international fashion scene, you may know a recent controversy surrounding fashion shows is whether to ban models who are too thin, since they send the wrong message to the audience and can foster unhealthy eating habits. In Milan and Madrid, the organizers of their fashion weeks have taken a stand by enforcing minimum weight requirements. In London, thin models have not been banned from the catwalks during the upcoming Fashion Week but the designers have been encouraged to hire only “healthy” people to model their clothes.
