Debates on the increasing number of excessively thin models have been the cause of many heated debates. Now with Vogue Editor, Franca Sozzani directly linking the fashion industry to Anorexia, this debate has yet again gained momentum. According to recent survey conducted by Katya Zharkova, a plus-size model, and Plus Model magazine, results show that these days an average fashion model weighs 23 percent lesser than an average women compared to 8 percent previously.

Owing to the thinness criteria models these days have to meet, the once wooed curves models possessed are now replaced with "no-curves" models.

"One of the reasons why a girl starts a too-strict diet is the necessity to correspond to an aesthetic standard which rewards thinness. And the current inclination to embrace a female beauty standard that exalts thinness has devastating consequences on many adolescents' eating habits", says Sozzani at a gathering at Harvard.

Being quite thin herself, Sozzani also said that she has always been against anorexic models and that her magazine would be doing a "special piece dedicated to health, featuring both curvy and non-curvy women, but all healthy".
