Why is fashion industry obsessed with skinny bodies?

The fashion industry is often criticised for its obsession with thin bodies and unrealistic standards of beauty. This has led to an unhealthy obsession with thinness, and a lack of diversity in the fashion industry. The fashion industry perpetuates the ideal of a thin body type by promoting it in magazines, on the runway and in ad campaigns. This is resulting in an unhealthy body image among young people, and a lack of acceptance for people of all body types. To combat this, the fashion industry needs to promote a more diverse and inclusive representation of beauty, both on and off the runway.
