What a surprise..... the fashion industry, gladly no doubt pointing to the availability of weight loss medications, has seemingly rejected its (fleeting) acceptance of body positivity & the use of 'real women' to go back to its tradition of using ultra-thin models, despite a long record of abuse of such models to get them to them to be thin-enough...
Its a retrograde step driven by a desire to control women's bodies... justified by dodgy aesthetics!
