My first thought was why doesn’t she just buy a dress? But this is not how the fashion world works when it comes to award ceremonies, super stars and tons of publicity. Top designers lend dresses to famous people for free publicity, which leads to higher sales. It’s a win win.
Despite the fashion industry’s good intentions to project a healthier image of the female form it appears that those in power seem reluctant to change their behaviour because it makes economical sense for them to design clothes to fit a size zero model. Most size zero models look skanky naked and the vast majority of guys, outside the fashion industry, prefer a healthier looking girl.
Ultimately the real power here rests with consumers, particularly female consumers who are probably not size zero models. So it seems to me that women are their own worst enemies. If women want the fashion industry to change and start portraying healthier women - stop buying their products, stop buying their clothes and stop buying their magazines!
If you hurt their wallet they will change overnight.
