London Fashion week

I heard somewhere that the London fashion week is on. I am not so much into all that fashion stuff but I remember back in the day when CNN was just coming to Kenya when there was a 30 minute programs on fashion every week. For some reason better known to myself I used to watch the girls on catwalk - honestly I fear I know why I used to do that but I will not own up.
Strange now I even haven't got a clue when this events happen - lost interest? Maybe my fears have been confirmed that it is abnormal for a lady to look strictly like the traditional model - they are just too skinny. This week I saw a piece of news that they are turning away all the overly skinny girls from the catwalk - I think it was in NY. Apparently someone has realized that they do not project a good image of what women should look like - this is especially to protect teens.

With that in mind this weekends NY Times had an article I only read the introduction and loved it.

SPEND a week looking into the glass of fashion and you soon realize that the individual actually is the universal. Almost nobody, not the rich, not the celebrated, not the occupationally beautiful has any true sense of how they're perceived.
Models do not think they are too skinny. Actors do not find themselves handsome. Stars claim not to know what all the fuss is about. Our crazy cultural obsession with the perfected surface has become so absolute that everybody ends up having to work off some obscure psychic debt.
