Giorgio Anorexia

DESIGNER Giorgio Armani has hit out at suggestions the fashion industry fosters eating disorders, blaming the media for the increase in skinny models.

"I have never wanted to use girls that are too skinny," he said. "I prefer girls that show off my clothes in the best way. Unfortunately though, the stylists and also the media have interfered and they now want models that are incredibly thin."
"No one thinks that for a girl to be fashionable she needs to be anorexic, that she must not eat. I will only take on healthy girls." - Daily Telegraph
