You’ve probably heard that the fashion moguls of Madrid and Milan have stopped using anorexic models and good for them, too. They’ve set a minimum body mass index for their models, in an effort to stop these beautiful girls from starving themselves to death. Eating disorders are thought to be the biggest professional disease that attacks models. Anorexia often leads to depression and serious health problems. More often than not, Anorexia is fatal. You’ve all probably heard of the Eliana and Luisel Ramos, who both died from starving themselves because of pressure from the modeling industry. These sisters were fast becoming the “it” girls from an Argentine agency, Dotto Models.
But the growing number of deaths caused by anorexia hasn’t stopped fashion designers from New York, London and Asia from using these anorexic models. Turn on your TV and watch Fashion Channel; there you will see how many stick thin models are still walking the catwalk. These models will soon feel more pressured to lose weight to get to size zero. How many more young, beautiful women have to die because these fashion icons are stubborn and don’t want to put pressure on modeling agencies to help their girls battle eating disorders.
