BLOGS AND DOCUMENTARIES 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF0lAlo80fU (part 1 of a BBC documentary on eating disorders. From this you can see for yourself how these girls have been affected by thin models to become like them and how they consider their skinny bodies ''fat'')

Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23 % less.... ! When was the last time we saw a healthy model? Do you remember Whitney Thompson? The plus-sized model that won America's Next Top Model cycle 10, she is full-figured but she is still part of the high-end fashion industry. If Tyra Banks can realise that beauty is not bones then why not the rest of the fashion industry ? If the anorexics, size 0s,00s can be banned, the statistics will change to become much better. (Madrid Fashion Week in 2006, New York Fashion Week 2010 and a few fashion labels- Prada, Versace, Armani as well as Victoria Beckham have banned size 0. This can help create a brighter future for the industry but there are still a large number of models suffering. The sickness that the industry has left behind might be hard to get rid of)

BIOGRAPHIES

Do you think that the one of the negative effects of the fashion industry is that it promotes eating disorders in young girls?

How does the fashion industry POSITIVELY affect your life?

Hello everyone :)

I have a question, specifically for Dhaanya and Andrea: Since you do not feel that the fashion industry negatively affects young girls, how does it POSITIVELY affect them?

To make it more "juicy", reply with your own personal response... If you want. ;)

Hey guys, Kristianne and Neha, how do you guys agree with the statement? Do you actually have many younger siblings or cousins that dress too old for their age? What evidence do you have? How do they dress unappropriately?
