Hi everyone

I am doing a project for university involving some anti size zero adverts and wanted some honest opinions for my research.

As a fashion lover, I understand the desire for thin girls to model clothes as the designers want their clothes to look as good as possible as with any other products.

I would like some honest opinions on what you think about the unhealthy looking thin models. Do you like to see clothes on these thinner girls? Is it all down to a fashion or craze? Do they really look good and what do they have that a healty size 8 or 10 for example has?

All opinions are greatly appreciated, thankyou very much x

hey im only 17 and i model. so i speak from the inside of the modeling size perspective not just what people percieve from the outside. i am currently a size 8 although i am personally not happy with my size as i feel to big for my frame. when models are modeling they feel it their sduty to make the clothes look as amazing as possiable and if you have celulite, or wobbly bits on your body you feel like you dont deserve to be modeling the clothes and that they dont look good, which of course makes you slef concious there4 making the clothes look rubish!
there is no pressure on employees for you to slim down bcuz they simply wont hire you if they think you are too big .. makes sence!
its all about achievement, if you want to make it as a model every1 knows you have to have the perfect body! and yes while opinions of the word perfect changes globaly as far as fashion and modeling is concerned it means a few visable bones. to be perfectly ohnest i think that not every model has to look like they would get swept away with a light gust of wind but that doesnt mean that they are not a size zero ! before i even became a model i thought that if your bones pertruded a little bit that ment that you were a good size, if you couldnt see your bones in my mind you were over weight! sounds crazy to you maybe?
therefore i do like to see clothes on thinner girls as i think it will inspire people to slim down instead of the nation as a whole continuing to increase to a phenomenal size! which 2bh is Not at all an attractive sight when you see a obeese person!
i think it is alot better to see a size 0 girl on a catwalk that it is to see an 8 because then the clothes hang better on them and they look alot sexier.
hope i have been of some help to you
good luck

but i dont agree! your a typical young girl who has been brainwashed into thinking the thinner you are you better you look! load of rubbish...its much better to see a model who has actually got some boobs!

size 8 is quite thin enough-im a size 8 but through pure luck lol. i eat what i want when i want and i dont spend hours obsessing about how i look-if anything i think i would prob look better with another half a stone.

this is dangerous terretory-my sister has been bulimic for 10 yrs and its not good.

result is she know has a child who will grow up completely obssesed by food who aslso thinks its normal to stick your fingers down your throat.
