Revolution against size zero models

Size Zero ModelApparently there is a body revolution happening in the fashion industry!! A weekly German fashion magazine called Brigitte has taken the very brave decision to make the magazine a “model-free zone”.

According to the magazine’s editor-in-chief Andreas Lebert the trend for “exaggeratedly underweight” women being used as models means that they are now in the ludicrous position of having to Photoshop the girls in order to put some weight on them; in particular on their thighs and upper chest area or décolletage,  He said “this is disturbing and perverse and what has it got to do with our real readers?” He also pointed out that the average model now weighs around 23 per cent less than the average woman, a figure that had forced him to conclude in a dramatic statement to the press that “the whole industry is anorexic”.

Brigitte magazine had received complaints from readers who felt they had “no connection with the models and no longer wish to see protruding bones”.Andreas Lebert has therefore decided to ban professional models from appearing in the magazine as of 2010 and has called on German women to apply to be featured instead.
