Size zero is out - curves are back in

Email thisPosted Oct 29th 2008 at 12:10PM by Kyle Hepp

Here at Stylelist we try to make sure we do a good job of covering fashion for all sizes. We can't say that we were ever big fans of the super size zero trend because of the insane amount of pressure it puts on normal non-celeb women to be unhealthy in their quest for thinness. So, we're relieved to hear cries from the rooftops that size zero is back out and curves are back in!

London ditches initiative to ban 'size zero' models

Despite the fact that men prefer size 10, the idea that skinny models = tons of women with body image issues has been a hot topic for crusading do-gooders for decades. But with all the outrage over the supposedly sickly-looking models, nobody's ever been able to put a stop to the anorexic reign of size zeros. Even now, the UK's best chance at banning "unhealthy" models in the looks like it's wilting away.

The British government has been eyeing new regulations that would require catwalk models to pay for a £500 ($933) health exam and certificate before they could do any work on the runway. While we think that seems kinda steep, it actually gathered a lot of support. Now, without similar bans in major fashion cities like New York or Milan, London is worried about all kinds of negative fallout -- especially at London Fashion Week.

Other, less-severe measures are being put in place to protect the health of British models, like promoting a drug and alcohol free backstage environment. Why alcohol-free?

Rachel Zoe's coffee and grapefruit diet

Stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe is best known for turning her clients into bobble-headed stick figures, most notably Nicole Richie, but she's also had Keira Knightly and Lindsay Lohan as clients. Zoe recently admitted that she doesn't always eat (gasp!) because she is her last priority.

She explains that, on a busy day, it can get to be 7:00 at night and she'll realize that she's only eaten a grapefruit and some coffee. Still, she claims, "It's not that I don't eat. I eat." You know, when she has the time. Which she never does.
