Rihanna is lashing out at the fashion industry for promoting size zero figures and claiming it is “not practical or possible” to keep a figure in that shape and she resents designers for giving girls false ideologies about how they should look.
The 22-year-old bombshell has some of the longest legs in showbusiness and is famed for her slender frame. However Rihanna says that the fashion industry is not giving a “healthy” message to women.
The singing star tells Britain’s You Magazine: You shouldn’t be pressured into trying to be thin by the fashion industry, because they only want models that are like human mannequins. They know that if we see an outfit on a mannequin in a shop window we will love it and want to buy it whatever size we are. That’s why they have size zero models – they want to sell clothes. You have to remember that it’s not practical or possible for an everyday woman to look like that. Being size zero is a career in itself so we shouldn’t try and be like them. It’s not realistic and it’s not healthy.”
