Vogue says no to anorexia

Franca Sozzani, editor of Italian Vogue, the magazine's most popular and prestigious fashion, from his blog on the Vogue site. it launches a campaign against anorexia and against websites that support and even promote. With this gesture is all the fashion world - often held responsible for proposing a model of woman too thin and to push the youngest on the slope of anorexia - which reaffirms its determination to combat this problem is so widespread.

"Reading that today blames Facebook as the main cause of anorexia and not believing it possible that a social network itself can take charge of the spread of this phenomenon, I have documented and I found that there are thousands of sites and blogs that pro-anorexia not only support this evil, but urge young people to compete on their fitness, "said Franca Sozzani.

Vogue Italy, which by definition is the newspaper that deals with and promotes the aesthetics, the visual beauty, decided to use its authority and its catchment area on the web (more than 1 million unique users per month) to fight to fight anorexia and collect signatures with the ultimate goal to shut down these sites.

Fashion has always been blamed to be a major cause - Franca Sozzani continues - and this commitment is rather to show that fashion comes into play first in line to fight anorexia. " The goal of this petition is to present a bill that will lead to the closure of all such sites, no doubt able to affect those who are suffering from eating disorders.

Vogue Italy has always proposed a model of a woman that points in the first place to live in harmony with your body, just think of the channel Vogue Curvy, in Vogue. com, devoted to women who live their curves naturally. This campaign perfectly reflects the commitment of the prestigious monthly in wanting to promote the welfare of all women, denouncing the dangers of distorted models to be following a false beauty, which endanger the lives of many young people.
