Over the weekend, Telegraph UK reported that British Vogue's editor-in-chief Alexandra Schulman sent a letter to major international design houses including Prada, Versace and John Galliano denouncing the size zero sample dresses the designers have been sending to the Vogue office.

In the letter, Schulman blames the design houses for increasingly small clothing -- calling the garments "miniscule" -- and for forcing the magazine to hire models with "jutting bones with no breasts or hips." To compensate, the magazine is now reportedly retouching models so they actually appear larger.

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan in Skinny Contest

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson at Declare YourselfNever was Lindsay Lohan more famous than when she was skeletal. At one point in her life, she, Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton formed a sort of triumvirate of skinny Hollywood. Then Lindsay bounced back from the brink, went to rehab, gained some weight and was generally considered "healthy" again by the media. However, now that she's dating Samantha Ronson, word on the street has it that the two are in a skinny war.

Organic obsessed? You may be orthorexic.

Filed under: Fashionable Food

This month's Teen Vogue features an article on orthorexia, which experts say is an obsession with eating only "good" foods.

Orthorexics may stick to a stringent raw-foods diet, become obsessed with their sodium intake, or even subsist on homemade, organic baby food. (In other words, orthorexics are consumed by their food, rather than the other way around.)

One girl quoted in Teen Vogue even says, ""I can't help but look down on my friends when they give in to temptations like pizza or ice cream."

The weight debate gets heavy

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News

There was an uproar in the fashion world in fall 2006 when Madrid and Milan fashion weeks turned away models without a healthy BMI. Since then, a debate has erupted over why America hasn't taken a cue from its European counterparts and imposed a minimum weight restriction on models appearing in fashion shows. Recently, a new voice has joined the party and he has some personal insight into the problem.

Former Halston designer Bradley Bayou had witnessed the industry's sample sizes shrinking, and he went along with it. His oldest daughter constantly tried to lose enough weight so that she could fit into his designs and look as pretty as the models he dressed.

Bayou was unaware that his daughter suffered from an eating disorder (and that he'd been contributing to it) until she entered therapy after a breakdown that had landed her in the emergency room. It was then that he realized the impact that the skeletal fashion models have on women across the world. This was three years ago, and Bayou isn't about to stop spreading his message: Fashion Can Kill.
