Another viewpoint on the problem of size zero in fashion gives famous Canadian model Coco Rocha. The beauty claims she has been rejected for ‘being too fat’.
The girl says she isn’t invited to walk the runway because many designers think she needs to lose more weight to fit the clothes they create. Despite being 7st 7lbs (UK dress Size 6) she is considered too big…
Miss Rocha has made her comments this week after participating in New York Fashion Week where she was modelling for Diane von Furstenberg.
I’m not in demand for the shows anymore,’ she said. ‘I’ve been told to lose weight when I was really skinny.’
The model is just one of the few colleagues who speaks openly against the demand for models to be zero-sized. And her opinion is fully justified as we all heard about two recent deaths of models Luisel Ramos and her sister Eliana.
Luisel, 22, passed away in the result of a heart attack during a fashion week in Uruguay in 2006. She had to live on a diet of green leaves and diet coke for three months to get ready for the catwalk show. Her sister Eliana,18, was also a model. She died from malnutrition six months later in 2007.
