First Spain, Now London, Has The Whole World Gone "Fat?" London Looks To Ban Size Zero Models

Now just the other day Women's Wear Daily noted that size zero was the best selling size for a host of top fashion labels. But even while this size is selling in fashion, it does not appear that it is in fashion to actually show said clothes on a size zero model anymore.



First Spain placed a ban on too thin models and now London is being threatened that it too must follow suit.
London Fashion Week will no longer receive crucial funding from Mayor Ken Livingstone unless it bans "stick thin" models, his officials said today.
Predictably this move has generated much controversy in the fashion world, most notably that fashion week backers should not be allowed to interfere with the artistic process of designers. The troubling notion in all of this is that fashion is in the strange intersection of art and commerce and using it as a vehicle to promote public health policy is not liable to go down well with either artists or businessmen.
