“It should not be about people blaming each other, of designers blaming agents, and agents blaming designers. Everybody should recognize that there is a certain aesthetic that designers are looking for to show clothes, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of someone’s life and health. It’s not about a debate on whether fashion is good or bad, but about our industry having a dialogue about how we can be and should be more responsible.” – Steven Kolb, executive director of the CFDA, discussing ultra-thin models.
Tonight, the topic will move back into the forefront when the CFDA hosts a discussion themed “The Beauty of Health: How the fashion industry can make a difference” at MILK STUDIOS. Diane Von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, and Coco Rocha are scheduled to speak on the issue.
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
