"Weight debate overshadows London's fashion stars" By Rachel Sanderson and Jane Ross "LONDON (Reuters) - London Fashion Week opened for the first full day of shows on Monday but attention remained more on the body shape of the models than the clothes they were wearing. As fashionistas and celebrities poured into the city for one of the most hyped London fashion weeks in years, organizers found themselves defending their decision not to ban super skinny women from the catwalks."

Now did we ever expect them to really ban the super skinny models? Of course not, many of the designers secretly love them, as skinny as they can be. Saying they don't support them is all pc bullshit, they will not ban them as long as they are healthy enough to walk that catwalk.

Clothes hang well on skeletons, they don't hang well on 'shapely women'. Female vanity insists designers use skinny models because the majority of women want designer clothes to make them look thin like the models. Of course, no matter how well clothes are designed they won't make fat women thin but people are irrational and the sale pitch works.
