The Skinny on Fashion

So you know all that stuff you've been hearing about how fat is where it's at, how some magazines are promoting healthier body images and how the end is nigh for the anorectic fashion role model?

Don't believe it.

Via Sociological Images, here's just one catwalk image from Paris Fashion Week earlier this month, in this case from the Lindsey Lohan-directed collection for Ungaro:

Turns out even Barbie's ankles are now too fat for fashion.

How is "fat" a healthier body image?

But Thomas, I don't say that fat is a healthier image, do I?

Broadsides by Antonia Zerbisias


  • Antonia Zerbisias has been a Star columnist since 1989 but has been telling people what she thinks ever since she could open her mouth. Her career ambition as an opinionator dates back to Grade 9 when a cartoon commentary on a teacher resulted in her suspension from high school. The principal sent her home with a note calling her "rude, obstreperous and bold." Her parents were neither amused, nor surprised. Once she was punished for being that way. Now she makes it pay. And, because she can take it as well as dish it out, she wants to hear what you have to say. Fire away!
