After Aussie’s announcement that super-skinny models will be banned from the catwalk as part of a new code of conduct, naturally the pressure is on for New Zealand to follow in its footsteps.
New Zealand’s Minister of Youth Affairs Paula Bennett has said she will look into the issue of stick-thin models having a negative effect on young people.
Personally, I like Paula Bennett. She has a no-bullshit approach and she’s realistic. She gets things done and doesn’t worry about trampling over people to get things done. So I hope she takes this issue and follows Aussie.
Skinny models are sickening. Who really wants to see those gaunt faces and ribs showing through skin? I have made posts about it before. There’s been a lot of controversy around the world about this issue, and has been especially highlighted at fashion weeks. I fully support curvy models. We need to get real women with hips and bums and boobs on those catwalks.
