Realistic Representation

So apparently I know how to cheekily disappear of the face of the internet without explanation. Apologies for that, apparently I had to do things in the real world; EUGH!

As a "welcome back to blog" note I thought I'd talk about how last month Israel banned underweight models from the catwalk. 

How is this significant?

It cannot be denied that the size of models on the runway directly correlates to the number of eating disorders recorded among young people. Therefore, by a country stopping unhealthy fashion models from walking, it is hoped the amount of such illnesses will be reduced. This is a major step forward in the fashion world, and could influence other countries to do the same. If so maybe we'll see a variety of shapes walking up and down the catwalk, as fashion comes in all sizes.

For those of you wishing to promote a healthy catwalk follow @allwalkscatwalk.
