WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SIZE 0 MODELS?

Unfortunately, couture designers specifically design their clothing to be hung on these girls. They need to be human coat hangers. They're not designed to be worn by larger women. And larger women will never buy the designs. Simple.  Now I agree that sizing is warped and yes, a size zero can be unattractive but it's just another size. It's like a size zero saying being a size 18 is disgusting. It's not. It's just whatever your opinion deems to be. However your happy it doesnt matter. as long as you are happy and no one has the right to make you feel or think any differently.

Love them they are beautiful as any other woman in any dress size

I want to feed them

I think it's disgusting when you see these gaunt, skeletel models on the cat walk. They influence the minds of teens all over the world, and what we are meant to think of as 'normal'. My mum knew someone who read about a girl who was a size 10, and was turned down for modelling for being too 'fat'. She was devastated and tried desperately to loose too much weight, putting her in hospital.
However, I don't go entirely by sizes, as sizes can be differenty depending on shops and designers. I saw a size 0 top in House of Fraser not so long ago, and it was the perfect fit for me - even though I'm 14 and a size 8. I've also seen another 'size 0' that was far too big for me - but on the other side of the scale I've seen size 0's that look fit only for skeletons.
I think designers need to start using more normal sized models, or models of a variety of sizes. Who's to say what's normal anyway? We're all different and why should that change on the cat walk?

keep your views comming!

We are all different, but..
clothes look better on models which are size 0,
the catwalk would look stupid with al different sizes and heights walking down it!

I think the skinny fashion models look...well, good.  Some models are naturally tall and gracile.  I don't think anyone should starve themselves to get like that, however, and I know a lot of them do that.

I was a size 0 before I had my son but I'm only 5ft 1 1/2in tall. I didnt look sickly because I am so short. But when your 6ft tall and a size 0 you do look sick.

i must first preface this that in real life, women look good at any size 14 or under (sometimes even a bit larger) if they carry it well. that's because women in real life have their own look and can choose flattering clothing. though the harsh truth is that over a 14 is (except those that are 6ft tall) overweight and that is unhealthy

that being said, when i see a model i want to see a size 0. i don't want average because i am looking at a MODEL, who is supposed to be able to show off any article of clothing they put on her. she should be ideal, and that same bit of clothing should fit fine on the next model. they're supposed to be interchangable coat hangers, without distracting bodily imperfections. same with magazines, i really don't like this movement towards having average or fatties in their underwear for olay or whoever that is.
