Underweight Models in London Fashion show





I was looking at photo of the last London fashion shows 
when i realised that models where incredibly skinny.
I have to say that is not a matter of what should be the perfect body topic.
It's just this time simply revolting and ugly.
I simply don't want to look like this.
All over the globe, those fashion shows are dissect by fashion globers, TVs and Magazines. 
We are looking at underweight models 
(Anorexic is maybe a more suitable word ) but nobody seems to notice.

I just want to remenber you that the body mass of less than 18.5 
is underweight and may indicate malnutrition, 
an eating disorder, or other health problems.
For exemple: If a model mesure 1.8 metres (5 ft 11), 
her weight will be consider normal if she is weighting between 60 and 81 kilograms.
 The same model will be considered underweight if she is weighting less than 60 kg (132 lb).

If you are not in the normal range: Change your Diet.

I would like to see more Plus sizes models
 like the gorgeous and curvy : Crystal Reen.
She is talking about her struggle with diet and her new life
 as a Xsize model in this interview.
She is now a 12 size model at 20 years old and worked with photographers 
such Steven Meisel, Craig McDean and Patrick Demarchelier.

My fashion Pics Fall-Winter 2008

I have seleted some look for this winter 2008.Of course, 
It's never cheap but this is a trend selection.
I like simple cut and light materials.
Those look can suit a XS or a XL size and still be elegant,
 classic but with a Glam rock touch that i favour.


Listen to this "Rock Dame" Mixtape select for you.



I try to pic style that can still be worn for years.
Remenber ladies: 
Don't think fashion and trends when you buy your clothes.
Think Style and attitude.

First, i will begin with the last runway look that caught me.
Lanvin with those so simple cut but modern materials for a modern "femme fatale".

Rick Owens Gothic minimaliste chic, and i can tell you
 the fabrics are soft and so easy to wear years after years.


Balmain can't be forget with there 2 last rock'n roll
 collections.(Read my post about it here).


Halston that i am sure will soon be a name that you will read often.

 Marchesa for the night.



Now have some look to the accessoiries that will suit to those styles.


Christian Louboutin
Chambre D'ami ballet flats
Python shoulder bag

Leather knee high boots

I choose this photo of the 50's fetish model of Irving Klaw "the pin-up king" :
 Tana Louise who inspired me this shoes selection.









Malone patent pumps 


Elizabeth satin pumps

BRIAN ATWOOD Starlet suede pumps
GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI Embellished heel pumps

All this shoes selection can be bought on Net-A-Porter.
