Italian Government and the fashion chiefs have passed a manifesto to ban ultra-thin models on the ramp unless they prove themselves healthy. This is a great turn towards ‘full-bodied’ models than those skeletons on the ramp. (More...)
Dr. Stephanie Setliff, a University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center psychologist who specializes in eating disorders says that media is indirectly promoting disorder in eating habits of teens and girls as they want to maintain their figure. Setliff also adds that genetic, environmental and social components are also responsible for this.
Children see the glamorous models and celebrities and try to imitate them to every extent. They think anorexic models are only their style forgetting that health is the necessity.
I am surprised to know that the age of diagnosis for several types of eating disorder has fallen down to 7 to 9 years from teens. The symptoms of this disorder are that girls becomes conscious about their food, get obsessed with exercising, wear clothes with hide their fats, frequent visitor to washroom, dieting and changes sleeping habits.
But with the changing trend towards the curves I think girls will definitely agree that healthy body looks beautiful and dandy. Recently Sao Paulo’s big catwalk show banned ‘anorexic models’ not this but there are many proofs to show you that healthy body looks beautiful.
Someone said skinny models look like skeletons’ show and I fully agree with the view, what do you say: Who is better???
