Burden of Proof

The UK media are applauding the fashion industry's announcement for London Fashion Week that under 16yo models will be banned and that models will have to prove that they don't have an eating disorder.

It’s the lamest cop out solution the industry thought it could get away with. All they have done is shift the burden of dealing with it onto the models themselves rather than deal with it sensibility but not picking stick thin models.

As Bob Carlos Clarke put it, "the female fashion editors have colluded in the demise of their own sex by going along with the ludicrous charade of supermodels. Fashion poses a far greater threat to modern woman than pornography, with its wild demands that she conform to that freakish body shape."
