Victoria Beckham won't use skinny models

Fashion meccas like Spain and Milan have been reacting to the epidemic rates of bulimia and anorexia among models by banning models below a certain weight from walking the runways during fashion week. Victoria Beckham must have taken note. The singer-cum-designer, has decided not to allow skinny women to model her new line of jeans.

According to sources for British newspaper, the Sun, Beckham picked models like the voluptuous Daniella Sarahyba - a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition star - to launch her line of denim because they look more "natural." Beckham's decision is ironic, considering the fact that she is known for her own stick-thin frame.

An insider said, "Victoria wants to give out a positive image that you don't have to be ultra skinny to look good. Many of the models on the catwalk make young girls feel insecure about their own bodies. Victoria doesn't want to be accused of giving young girls a complex about their image and putting pressure on them to be as skinny as her."
