In the same vein as Benetton's iconic photos of a dying AIDS patient, Italian brand Nolita is using a photo of a nude anorexic woman to sell clothes. It's a pretty raw tactic, and a ridiculous one to use during Milan fashion week, where plenty of models are still displaying stick-thin thighs and bony ribs, despite all the hand-wringing over size zero models.

Fashion is killing our young women. Fashion is mostly by men designed to make women weak and vulnerable. There is nothing more weak and vulerable than a starving young woman. Stop supporting the men who make the money of starving young women.
I love fashion but STOP the madness.

I agree with Juana,
and plus models like Tyra and so on don't have to be stick thin to get a job in modeling and i totally support that.
No one should starve themselves to get a a job.
Its not healthy emotionaly or physicaly.
