Fashion faces backlash as thinness returns with Ozempic influence

Fashion is seeing a return to extreme thinness, largely influenced by the weight-loss drug Ozempic, according to Chioma Nnadi of British Vogue. She expressed concern over this shift during a recent BBC interview, highlighting its potential impact on body image. Despite some progress in body diversity, major fashion shows still predominantly feature very thin models. Data shows a slight increase in plus-size representation at London Fashion Week, but Milan and Paris lag significantly behind, indicating a narrow view of beauty remains prevalent. Nnadi's comments reflect a growing worry that the fashion industry's focus on thinness is harmful. The previous emphasis on body positivity seems to be fading, raising concerns about the long-term effects on women's self-image and health.
