Beckham Encourages An ‘All-Inclusive’ Fashion Industry.
Posted in Famous Wags, News on 23. Feb, 2010
Victoria Beckham has joined forces with The Council of Fashion Designers of America, (CFDA) to promote their new campaign ‘Health is Beauty’.
Promoting her recently premiered range of evening wear, she spoke how she had signed up to a campaign launched in the States to promote healthier sized models.
The ex Spice Girl spoke out on an American TV Show about underage girls, underweight girls being misrepresented in the industry and also the lack of ethnic minorities found in mainstream modelling.
“The campaign the CFDA has launched is called ‘Health is Beauty’ and they are definitely encouraging designers to work with healthier sized models,”
The interview confirmed her shared desires with the Council of Fashion Designers of America, (CFDA), for a more ‘all-inclusive’ fashion industry.
“The CFDA have reached out to designers, stylists and casting directors not to work with underage models, girls that are too thin and to be more ethnically aware,” said Beckham.
“And I don’t think we should be discriminating against someone because they are too thin or too curvy or too large or whatever it is”
Beckham, who has just received positive reviews for her fashion collection which premiered on Sunday during New York Fashion Week, said: “Most of these girls are naturally thin.”
“I had a casting last week and had some terribly thin girls come in and it wouldn’t have worked.”
