Coco Rocha reveals that she was advised, at the beginning of her career as a model, to look anorexic. The renowned model now stands behind CFDA's new health initiative to promote healthy as being the way to being beautiful. Find out more details next!The Canadian beauty has been joined by model Doutzen Kroes in the attempt to raise awareness of the importance of health, and help your models take the right path to being famous and appreciated for their looks.
“I felt pressure early in my career. I was told: ‘The look this year is anorexic. We don’t want you to be anorexic, just look it.’ This message was especially troubling given the fact that I was only fifteen.”
The fashion industry has been blamed for promoting super skinny frame models, encouraging anorexia and bulimia, and after several deaths of models which battled these horrific illnesses, the modelling industry has finally decided to take a stand and opt for healthier looking models that are not all skin and bones. The new organization, which promotes the idea that health is beauty, implemented a new concept, that of having experienced models counsel their younger accessors. Coco Rocha also said that:
“These girls needs to know that they have nutritionists, trainers, designers—an entire industry behind them.”
Coco Rocha has been joined at CFDA's new health initiative launch by Doutzen Kroes who also supports the idea of health as being beautiful.
This is not the first time Coco Rocha has been open about the fact that models are sometimes encouraged to become anorexic, and she made it clear that this is something that she stands against. The Canadian Beauty once told New York Times that:
“How can any person justify an aesthetic that reduces a woman or child to an emaciated skeleton? Is it art? Surely fashion’s aesthetic should enhance and beautify the human form, not destroy it.”

E! is pointing out that the new crop of Victoria’s Secret models are rather tiny when compared to their predecessors from just a few years ago. While I don’t think that the new models are too thin in comparison to high fashion models, they’re skinnier overall than they used to be. I think they look like they’re healthy though and not emaciated. Still, it would be nice to see women that are more realistically fit instead of aspirationally thin for the most part. Victoria’s Secret is a brand to make everyday women look sexy, not a high fashion brand for the elite. Here’s what E! wrote about it:
Millions of fans (or those who merely enjoy seeing half-naked models in fancy undies) tuned in to watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but while you were drooling in front of your television sets, we had to wonder if some of those angels were drooling for a cheeseburger.
Seriously.This isn’t exactly new news.
Back in April, Candice Swanepoel and her thin frame made headlines when we learned that her contract with the lingerie company was in jeopardy due to her dramatic weight loss (which she later commented on).
But watching the show, we can’t help but remember the days when models like Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bündchen took over the catwalk with their curves. Don’t get us wrong, they still made us question our meal choices, but they were also voluptuous. And now, it seems like the wings on these newbies are literally going to whisk them away.
[From E! Online]
I don’t know. I mean Tyra and Heidi are somewhat more curvy than that current models, but Gisele was just as waif-like. I don’t see any curves on her. I looked up the 2006 and 2005 shows, and there were several other women that were maybe a smidgen larger than the current crop of models. They had hips but were still extremely fit. They really worked those outfits too. Here are a few I found. I’m not saying that it’s some big scandal or anything. They’re models, they’re always going to be skinny. I liked it a little better when they looked like they did in 2005. That’s something I can relate to a little more.
Look at Tyra Banks in 2005. I can’t stand her but she looks hot here:
Heidi Klum is super fit and tiny but she’s got some hips on her. Maybe those are just her bones, though. This is from 2008.
Gisele in 2005. She’s about the same as the current models.
Isabeli Fontana in 2005. Hot!
