model citizens

The model weight debate continues. After Australian fashion week organizers upped the minimum age for models from 14 to 16 last week, French lawmakers are now pushing an anti-”thinspiration” bill aimed at image-obsessed Web sites. We would tell perilously skinny models to take their vitamins (along with actual food, of course), but a new study shows that antioxidants might need an antidote. There’s always plastic surgery, though. And thanks to a new children’s book on the topic, it’s positively family-friendly. Yesterday we reported on a wedding proposal via video game, and today, in true-love fashion, we learned about divorce via YouTube. Sweet. The relationship between fashion and architecture is not due for a rupture any time soon, as proven by sharply dressed (building) designers, but can anyone outstyle power-dresser Margaret Thatcher? Santo Versace, Donatella’s brother, newly elected to the Italian parliament, may be able to give the Iron Lady a run for her money.
