The average size for UK women is size 12, but more and more teen are walking on the runway which has a size zero figure (around a size 4 for American size). This may have a huge impact on our younger girls for they would no longer be happy and comfortable with the size they are in, seeing all those ultra thin models wearing the latest brands.

Luisel Ramos was an 18 year old Uruguay model, who died during Uruguay's Fashion week due to heart failure brought about by a starvation diet. This made the fashion capitals rethink what kind of image they are portraying to the people.

Madrid was one of the pioneer fashion capitals to ban ultra thin models, followed by Milan, which promised to encourage a healthier and more beautiful image. Jean Paul Gaultier actually traded the size zero models to models who were size 20 during the Paris Fashion Week.

The normal size 6 or 8 girls which are considered healthy may actually doubt themselves have a lower self esteem when they who are size zero being regarded as models of beauty.

What matters is that you love yourself not minding what kind of size you are. Make sure you are comfortable with your own skin, whether you are a size 6, 12 or 20. The media should not dictate what is healthy by saying that size zero models are healthy.
