The supermodel-turned-photographer has spoken out in support of the British Vogue magazine editor's decision to complain to the world's leading fashion brands for favouring the tiny, skeletal look.
Helena Christensen
Helena Christensen has defended Alexandra Shulman's ze-zero rant.
Helena said: 'It's about time somebody takes action. Obviously I am of the same belief. Aren't we in a business that is supposed to explore all kinds of shapes and silhouettes?'
Instead, the 40-year-old beauty believes the fashion industry needs to focus on healthy, natural body images.
She added to Britain's Independent newspaper: 'The original supermodels all had shape and photography in the past was all about the organic, sensual shape of bodies.'
Alexandra - a highly-influential fashion figure - surprised many with her recent letter which accused designers of pushing models to lose more weight from their small frames.
According to The Times newspaper, the strongly-worded letter accuses designers of supplying 'miniscule' sample garments to magazines for photoshoots, and causing them to hire extra-skinny models with 'jutting bones and no breasts or hips'.
She complained Vogue were regularly forced to retouch images to give them extra curves.
Q ..... Yeah... Return of the Curves!!!!
Tyra and Gisele.
