Re: Which one do you choose?

I will merely add that while some obscure haute couture runway models of the '90s did appear to be unhealthy and eating disordered, very few "Supermodels"- ie fashion magazine models who got a lot of covers and ad work- ever appeared that way.
And for the past decade, most haute couture models don't either. There was a backlash against it in the fashion world. It was merely a freaky novelty, a fad that soon passed.
It's been a long time since I've seen a muscle-free model with jutting bones, or any woman fitting that description in any major fashion magazine. Not in an ad, not in a feature not on a cover. Nowhere.
They may be too thin for some people's taste, but they're not diseased.
Anyway, some of that thinness is probably attributable to computer editing.
Who knows what they really look like; these days, people can be edited into unrecognizability.
