The skinny model debate is something that I suspect will continue for a long time yet and with high-profile stars adding to the furore on what seems like a weekly basis, it is becoming something of a talking point here at Secret Sales HQ.
Victoria Beckham has become the latest celebrity to propagate her views on the subject and to be honest, I think that she has made some extremely worthwhile comments.
"I don’t think we should be discriminating against someone because they are too thin or too curvy or too large or whatever it is," she told host Whoopi Goldberg on American daytime television show The View.
She went on to add that she is fully supporting the measures that are being taken by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), which is hoping to make clothing designers more ethically aware and urge them not to use models that are too thin in their catwalk shows.
We here at Secret Sales HQ – always fans of the curvier lady – are applauding Victoria for also giving her backing to the new CFDA campaign Health is Beauty, which is encouraging designers to work with healthier sized models.
As weeks go, this seems to have been a good one for the former Spice Girl – the star debuted her new 40s style collection of designer dresses at New York Fashion Week and they have gone down an absolute treat in the Secret Sales office!
Do you agree with Victoria?
I do not agree with Victoria. My opinion is that designers should use a variety of sized models on the catwalks. When I mean a variety of sizes I am referring to to using size 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and size 20 models. I think the industry should do away with really thin models as its not a true reflection of society.
