Fashion body images unhealthy
By admin | September 24, 2008
Young girls were also entering the industry far too early, she said.
“In fashion … there is an unhealthy body image for young women,” Ms Murdoch told the National Press Club in Canberra while launching National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“I personally think that young women shouldn’t be in the industry as early as they are.”
She said the situation was a “catch 22” because different sectors of the fashion industry blamed each other for the problem.
But when it came to the body image of ballet dancers, Ms Murdoch did not extend the same criticism.
The former aspiring ballet dancer and Australian Ballet board member, said ballerinas were like any elite athlete.
“The dedication to health in that company (Australian Ballet) is incredible.”
“They are treated as athletes.”
