This is a current fashion trend that no one expected to flourish. According to reports, a prominent fashion magazine editor has accused designers for continuing with the zero size trends.

Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, a popular name in the fashion industry, stated her concern on the ongoing trend of designers’ hiring “size zero” models which could be attributed to the rising incidence of teenage anorexia.

Shulman reportedly sent a letter to major fashion houses based in the United States and Europe. Although the contents of the letter were not published for public reading, a London-based newspaper stated that the contents pretty much centered on Shulman’s concern on the hiring of models with “no breasts or hips” or with “jutting bones.” She added that the “size zero” figure became an obvious requirement since models are given tiny garments to wear during photo shoots. Vogue magazine revealed that there were times that they had to digitally retouch the photos to make the models look a bit larger.

There were recent reports of three models dying due to malnutrition-related complications. This has prompted the starting of the campaign to ban size-zero models to promote proper nutrition to the public.
