It’s well-known that fashion and media play a huge part in the image obsession of our planet. Throughout the generations, the female body has been treated as just another fashion. What’s in? Who has the latest trend in body shape. Women’s bodies are expected to be changed and updated just like the latest trend of fashionable jeans. Recently, emaciated and androgynous looking women have flaunted the current fashion trend. In centuries past, heavy and robust women were seen as desirable because their form indicated a lifestyle of wealth, ease, and abundance. So what does the current trend in women’s fashion indicate? Poverty, starvation, self-denial, masculinity, hatred of the feminine etc.? It’s about time for women’s bodies to be honored as they are. Well, the editor of Vogue, Franca Sozinna, is taking a stand against pro-anorexia websites and reports that she is committed to including more “plus-size” models in her magazine.
