Successful British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman expresses her views on the size zero debate. Shulman disagrees with size zero and is against teen anorexia. Shulman took on large fashion houses by sending a serious letter about the issue. Although she wasn't intending on the letter being publicized; it has been seen by The Times. The editor blames designers for allowing size zero models to appear in their magazines; according to The Times Shulman accuses designers for hiring models with "jutting bones & no breasts or hips" by providing them with "minuscule" garments. Due to this issue she has decided that Vogue frequently make the models in their photographs look larger by"retouching".
Despite Vogue's plan to make their models look bigger by retouching their images, there has been no outcome of it. After analysing Vogue's April 2010 issue i found that 95- 99% of the magazine contain elements of underweight (size zero) models.
