Model agency chiefs back call on 'too skinny' models
SENIOR fashion industry figures joined the "size zero" debate yesterday after the editor of Vogue criticised the small size of clothes used for fashion shoots.
Alexandra Shulman accused designers of making magazines hire models with "jutting bones and no breasts or hips" by supplying them with "minuscule" garments for photo sessions.
Sarah Shotton, head designer for Agent Provocateur, revealed that model agencies sent "girls so thin we have to ask them to leave".
She said: "I actually think it has got worse since they started talking about skinny models a few years ago."
Sarah Doukas, chief executive of Storm Management – which has models Kate Moss and Lily Cole on its books – said the blame lay with the catwalk modelling industry rather than high street designers.
