On a serious note, what people are referring to in regards to thin, is the skeletal frame which resembles neither thin nor fit women. Many thin women are fit without having an inordinate amount of bones poking through their flesh...and Karl doesn't seem to be able to make this distinction. He is no longer coming up with designs showing the creative flair he had long ago...more a case of let's put this crazy thing together, it's new, hence "fresh"..no, Karl, just plain ugly.

I believe there is some truth to this. Models take it to the extreme for the purpose of aesthetics much the same way as athletes (who are arguably as unhealthy/unnatural) do to achieve performance. If people could see the internal damage to athletes on the outside the same way you can see a rib on a model or ballerina they would see its the same. Girls choose that profession, they arent forced (and they are well compensated!) I love ballet and I believe it is much the same - if the bits of fat and flesh were bouncing and inhibiting the movement it would not be attractive or traditional. Its all about BMI - women should keep to a low healthy BMI for health and appearance. Average women could maintain a 19 bmi easily if they cared enough. I love him!
