'Teen anorexia not our fault'


Naomi Campbell - REUTERS

Naomi Campbell says it is not fair to blame the fashion industry for the rise in anorexic teenagers.

The supermodel, who was named Best Model at the Elle Style Awards on Monday, doesn't approve of the current trend for size zero models, and thinks the fashion industry is being unfairly made culpable.

Naomi said: "I don't believe in size zero. I'm a size that's right for me, I don't diet for this industry.

"Fashion is healthy, models are given healthy food backstage back at fashion shows.

"I don't think it is fair to blame the fashion industry for anorexia, when it's a psychological disease."

The size 0 debate has attracted comments from all over the fashion world.

Legendary British model Twiggy recently condemned the trend.

The 'America's Next Top Model' judge became a catwalk icon in the 60s thanks to her waif-like figure, but is adamant the current raft of models are far too thin.

She said: "The fashion industry needs to be regulated to stop this dangerous size 0 trend.

"When you see a model with the lollipop look, where her head is too big for her body, it means she's dieting too much."
