Victoria Beckham defends skinny models

Following her fourth and very successful collection at New York Fashion Week,

Victoria Beckham has weighed in on the size debate.

Her position? Defending skinny models.

“Most of these girls are naturally thin,”says Victoria,who is often criticised about her own weight.

“And I don’t think we should be discriminating against

someone because they are too thin or too curvy or too

large or whatever it is.”

Speaking to US TV show The View, Victoria added,“the campaign the CFDA

has launched is called ‘Health is Beauty’and they are definitely

encouraging designers to work with healthier sized models.

Perhaps it will encourage Ms.Beckham to eat something.

With Fashion Week around the corner our attention,as always, turns to who we’re likely spot sitting suitably stylish in the coveted front row seats.But whilst most fashion fans would give their right leg to bag a spot, these A-listers are getting paid.You see, publicity and copious freebies aren’t enough for the fashion elite – they charge big bucks to appear front row at designers’ shows. And just how much they charge depends on their status and fashion credibility. to make an appearance.

Hitting the top of the list is Rihanna,who charges an almighty $100,000 just for turning up, closely followed by the trendy Olsen twins who can pocket $80,000 each.

Someone on the down-right embarrassing end of the scale, however, is Lindsay Lohan who – since her controversial last year in fashion – has gone from getting $60,000 to being altogether uninvited. Ouch.
