Skinny Male Models Banned From Fashion Show Runway
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.'
