London Fashion Week won't ban skinny models

Instead, organizers ask designers to use ‘healthy’ people on catwalk

LONDON - Organizers of London Fashion Week
said Thursday they would not ban ultra-thin models from the catwalk,
but stressed they had asked designers to use only “healthy” people in
their shows.

The
British Fashion Council said barring stick-thin models — as fashion
weeks in Madrid and Milan have done — “is neither desirable nor
enforceable.”

The
council, a consortium of major fashion retailers and publishers that
oversees London’s twice-yearly fashion weeks, said it recognized its
responsibility to help promote a healthy body image.

Hello!

I wanted to write and tell you about a new website for artists, musicians, fashion designers, and filmmakers: www.PutItOn.com. I've been using the site as an artist and have my work there, and am trying to support it because I believe in it. Basically, the site allows artists from all over the world to connect, display their portfolios, and sell their work (with NO commission taken!). The site gives artists a FREE gigabyte of space to showcase their portfolios, allows you to stream audio and video works, lets you create live personal broadcasts, and translates any writing into ten different languages. If you could take the time to visit the site, and if you like it too, let your readers know about it, and even sign up yourself or link to it on your site it would be greatly appreciated! We are trying to make a go of helping out artists everywhere and are trying to get the word out, so please help us out if you like the site after checking it out! Thank you!

All the best,
Sarah at PutItOn.com
