Posh campaigns for health, not size 0

Orange News reports that Victoria Beckham decided to support a campaign asking design houses not to hire models that are too thin.

 

The former Spice Girls singer is known throughout the fashion world and launched her first clothing collection in 2008.

 

During a taping of The View on Wednesday (February 17), she talked about how she has signed on to support an initiative launched by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). It encourages the fashion industry to be more responsible when working with young and often vulnerable models.

 

Beckham says, "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. And I think designers are listening."

 

The star says she was at a casting session recently and some of the girls who showed up were incredibly thin. She says that they would not have worked for her.

 

She adds, "The campaign the CFDA has launched is called Health is Beauty and they are definitely encouraging designers to work with healthier sized models."
