There was a big bit in the Times today about it too

Its the same old thing - this issue pops up once a year or so, one or two minor designers will send out "larger" models on the catwalk for publicity, then it'll be business as usual until the next time.

IMO, size 0 is a terrifying look, especially on women as tall as runway models are... I get that they need to be thin for the clothes to hang how the designers want them to, but looking like someone Bob Geldoff would hold a concert for is too far.

you would think the models were being conscripted, free will and choice are a wonderful thing
