Three Cheers to Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel Nixes Too-Thin Models
Karl Lagerfeld is quoted as saying: "I have nothing against skinny girls. But these were terrible. They looked as if they had grown up in a Third World country with no food to eat. I sent them back to the agency. I didn't think they should be modeling." People Magazine, Oct 29, 2007

Clone him, Chanel. Hopefully the fashion industry as a whole will start to recognize that no super-ultra-thin model comes close to representing the New Normal (us!).
