How much responsibility on eating disorders does Fashion Industry have?

What kind of disease by fashion industry in your first image coming out?
Be honest, I saw the result which is “eating disorders” appeared a lot from the Google searching engine, I was shocked. It is not chemical disease.



"In general, when I'm working with patients, this concept of a 'thin ideal' does come up," said Dr. Allegra Broft, a psychiatrist in the Eating Disorders Program at Columbia Psychiatry, who explained that eating disorders are very complicated in terms of their etiology. And also according to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, around 70 % of girls said magazine images impact their ideals of perfect shape. Although it is not 100% data to support whether or not the general trend of over-thin models which cause people outside of fashion industry to develop disordered eating, we still should consider on seriously.



A fashion model said, as she grew older in an industry where her ability to work depended on “her size”, and where models have little control over many basic aspects of their lives, she began to cut out certain foods. All interviewers measured her said, "Hips 102 cm." General, models have hips of 86.5-89 cm, or 34"-35". Anything over 90 cm is considered undesirable. How is sad story! There are super common and be showed every day in fashion industry.



The poor situation is not only occurred inside of fashion industry. But also it is doing in our life every day. Let me share my own experience and how sick of Asia girls around me. They usually diet whole the years with one day one simple meal, such as salad without dressing, the food soaked in hot water before eating. If they really cannot stand for having dessert, don’t worry they will take it and without eat anything the day. And we will consider about how are they keeping the basic health? They take the pills, Vitamin…  They really think that only “beautiful shape” even exchanged by the health.


Let’s work hard to move away the sick eating habit and beauty identity, as following by this video.
