Controversy Over 'Size Zero' Models Move from Females to Males
February 10, 2008 at 1:24 PM

The controversy over size zero catwalk models moved from women to men after skinny male models with waists as small as 28in made an appearance at the New York Fashion Week earlier this month.
Now, everybodys eyes are set on the upcoming London Fashion Week, where many experts predict ramp shows from similar skinny male models.
The show organisers insist that the health of models is one of their top priorities, but they admitted that no models would be barred on the grounds of being too thin.
The main concern of health campaigners is that the trend towards skinny male models could worsen the growing problem of eating disorders among young men.
In New York, Stas Svetlichny, who walked the ramp for Duckie Brown collection, typified the trend towards thin models.
His body mass index (BMI) of 20 is at the very bottom of the scale generally considered healthy.
Fashion writer John Davidson admitted that the craze for size zero models is now affecting the male side of the industry.
"There is a big drive towards the skinny trend in menswear, with a lot of straight lines and sharp cuts in the clothing. In high fashion, boys on international shows are much thinner than they used to be," the Scotsman quoted him, as saying.
