Does this dress make me look fat?

The question that every man dreads hearing from his spouse/girlfriend.

Recent news coverage has reported that Madrid banned excessively thin women from appearing in fashion shows. And I think it's about time.

Georgio Armani agrees; however, he doesn't take any responsibility for models who are incredibly thin: "the stylists and also the media have interfered and they now want models that are incredibly thin," he says.

Since when does a fashion designer bow to the media? I've seen enough episodes of Fashion Television to see some really out there, not-in-the-mainstream, designs.

Armani says he only takes on "healthy girls". He's very influential in the fashion world; let's hope that he stops placing blame and his actions are true to his words. If someone like Armani outwardly only uses healthy girls, then hopefully the stylists and the media, as he's quick to blame, will come around and stop demanding models that are incredibly thin.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman who actually looks like a woman (with a curvy figure).
