Manorexia Finally Banned

Skinny male models have been banned from The Clothes Show after a rise of 67 per cent in the number of men suffering from anorexia, so-called ‘manorexia’.

Gavin Brown, managing director of the live show – which banned size zero girls in 2006 – said the rise over the past five years ‘has been attributed to the fashion industry’s increasing preference for very slender male models’. He added: ‘The show has refused to employ what appears to be unnaturally thin male models as part of an ongoing commitment to promoting a healthy body image.’
