Against Size Zero
Dorota Lopatynska-de-Slepowron, Polish fine artist, fashion designer of medieval clothes and Bollywood film actress, has decided to contest in Divinity Model Competition 2007. It is a competition that does not discriminate models against age, height or size and it promotes qualities more than looks. The organizers want to draw attention to non-zero sizes that also can be proud fashion icons. Out of 15000 candidates, only 100 have been selected for the semi-finals.

What Models of Diversity want is changes and accepting normal size Real Woman from
every ethnicity. What we see in Arts is Real Woman with curves, not anoroxic,
unhealthy woman not representing Real Woman. We want women from different ages,
and sizes on catwalk because real women are curvy. |

UNNATURALSIZEZERO.COM is a community initiative of Miss Commonwealth dedicated to the protection of young women's health and lives against the demands of fashion catwalk promoters for underweight models. Miss Commonwealth successfully launched a campaign against catwalk promotion of underweight models at the unnatural size zero demonstration in Westminster on 18 May 2007. Miss Commonwealth queens delivered to the British Prime Minister a petition asking for legislation against the promotion of underweight models, and led a public lobby of Members of Parliament to support the petition. This campaign was aired on BBC Television, and the health recommendations of the petition were adopted by the British Fashion Council who owns and organises the London Fashion Week. |
