It looks like a new era is starting in the fashion world. Girls who tried their best to bring their figure to "size zero" can breathe a sigh of relief. Anna Wintour herself spoke out against anorexic models. “We want to see healthy girls,” said the editor-in-chief of American Vogue.

Once upon a time, Mrs. Wintour herself was firmly convinced that only a very graceful girl could go to the podium. Preferably a teenager. But now one of the most influential ladies in the fashion world is calling for a change in criteria.

According to many designers, the cult of a thin, almost emaciated model has led some girls to deliberately exhaust their own bodies. And so that their services are not refused, the models hide health problems, which leads to the most deplorable results.

In the call to declare war on anorexia, Wintour was supported by American designer Michael Kors and Russian top model Natalia Vodianova. The latter noted that, in her opinion, girls suffer from the fact that they come to the modeling business very young, when "they have not yet developed a sense of self-sufficiency and self-preservation."

“Models are so afraid of being included in the" black list of anorexic women "and flying out of all shows and photo shoots that they prefer to keep silent about these problems to death. Although everyone knows what's going on,”said Anna Wintour. The editor of a fashion magazine calls for a clear algorithm of actions for agencies and designers who see very young or skinny girls in front of them.

“Each of us, without exception, must understand that we are responsible for the health of fashion models,” said Wintour. "We need to change our practice and stop presenting clothes that are only fit for 13-year-old girls."

Thus, we can conclude that the fashion world has "matured" and is interested in real women.
