“According to Women's Wear Daily the infamous size zero demographic is no longer limited to the silver screen or the catwalk; in fact these women walk among us every day.”
The "size 0 debate" has a very real, very negative impact on the today’s young women. These are young women who live around us, even people we’re intimately familiar with. Stores such as Marc Jacobs, the “designer” stores, produce and sell more 0 size clothing than most and thus should be seen as contributors to the problem. Even with “vanity sizing” (false sizes) becoming more and more popular, people keep thinning out more and more. This author thinks it is both the fashion industry and the media’s fault that people continue doing drastic things to obtain the “perfect body”.
Basically, what this article states is that people keep getting thinner and thinner because of fashion designers and the way they chose to make and market clothing. As designers continue to “vanity size” and produce this skeletal clothing people will try to look just like the models (who are nearly skeletons) wearing them.
