THIN is back! Or so fashion and pop cultural commentators would have us believe. After the SS23 round of runway shows, some designers have been castigated for reverting to an aughts-ideal: heroin chic, pin-sharp hip and collar bones, goose pimpled flesh — all those arbiters of disordered eating, back with a bang. Where was the diversity, the body positivity? Gone! Along with the 16lbs Kim Kardashian lost in record time to get into Marilyn’s dress. Gone! Along with Taylor Swift’s BFF credentials, after she was accused of fatphobia in her music video for AntiHero. Swift is shown living out her worst fears, among them the fear of stepping onto a scale and having the dial point to ‘FAT’. New York-based eating disorder therapist and campaigner Shira Rose tweeted: “Fat people don’t need to have it reiterated yet again that it’s everyone’s worst nightmare to look like us.” That tweet was liked 43,000 times and Swift took the word out of her video, which sparked its own backlash.
