From Uggs to low-rise jeans, the fashion world is seeing a resurgence of questionable trends from two decades ago. Now, it seems as though the thin, heroin-chic body of the 1990s and early aughts is also making a comeback.
In early October, Bella Hadid closed out Paris fashion week at Coperni, her tiny form nearly naked on the runway as a dress was spray-painted onto her skin. Days later at the Miu Miu spring 2023 show in Milan, waifish girls paraded down the runway with bared midriffs, some of them modeling the “micro-mini” skirt for which the label has recently become known. Meanwhile, supermodel spawn such as Lila Moss (daughter of Kate) and Kaia Gerber (daughter of Cindy Crawford) are further evoking the ’90s with both their famous moms and their supremely svelte figures. Not everyone is happy about the trend.
“Please, I am so tired of this. I know we’re all pretending this isn’t about bringing back thin worship or whatever but I can’t keep doing this,” fashion writer Tyler McCall tweeted in exasperation.
The skinnies sashaying down the runway are a drastic shift from the “slim thick” and body positivity that had been in vogue in recent years with womanly ambassadors such as Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion putting their full bodies on display.
Even the famously bootylicious Kardashians seem to be turning away from curvy physiques. Kim and Khloé are looking increasingly skinny of late, leading fans to speculate that they’ve reversed their Brazilian butt lifts — though it has never been confirmed either had the procedure to begin with. At the Met Ball in May, Kim boasted her dangerous diet which had her shed 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress.

Which way, Western man?
Bring on Kamala’s FUGLY step daughter/son....she/he is the EPITOME of Heroin Chic!!!
Strong fit women are better. Not skinny rails.
Must be too hard for men that want to look like women to get gigantic buttocks. Since fashion is filled with homosexuals and transvestites, skinny is back.
There needs to be a middle ground between anorexic teenagers and bags o’flab.
:O One is wearing a slip as outerwear and the other is wearing a duct taped garbage bag.
My wife was very much a petite 5'1" and about 90 lbs. when we married. Gave me four strong children, all of which she delivered naturally without epidural. Our oldest son, at 13, is as tall as I am now (5'9") and showing no signs of stopping.
Point is, lithe, petite women can do just fine.
Now morbidly obese women? There's nothing healthy about that. They've been forcing this lie on everyone.
Heroin chic was just as bad as the hippo look. That said the Moss girl looks thin and fit not the Heroin Chic look at all. That had ribs and other bones sticking out, dark circles under the eyes...basicly an abuse look.
Exactly.
This isn't "heroin chic". This is simply petite.
Anyone remember Burt Reynolds socking one out of the park about overly thin women?

My wife is petite but definitely looks like a woman and at near 50 still passes for early 30’s and hasn’t hit menopause yet-point being she is extremely healthy, especially compared to our “heavier” friends and family
Good God, that “Lizzo” beast is SO GROSS! I’ve heard about it, but not seen it before.
Lila Moss looks like a regular girl with the right amount of weight. No bones sticking out. Good for her to maintain that weight. It is hard to do with such plentiful food (sugar, fat and carbs) in the USA.
I never understood this skit. I remember it. Lorraine Newman who at the time was very thin and had a heroin problem with eating disorders.
So what I don’t understand is the skit humiliating her for being such, seems an unkind thing to do and I’m sure Lorne Michaels was not one to be kind so what was this? A mean thing?
I’m fit and petite and delivered four of five children with epidurals. There is no rule of thumb between “fit and slender” and length of labors or infant emergencies.
Being strong and fit and having quick, non medicated labors vs. long difficult labors has no correlation. It’s more likely genetic.
Agree...I’m old enough to remember “Twiggy” and the generation of anorexics spawned by that “look.” The look, of course, skinny or fat, is all produced and declared by gay men who actually don’t care one way or another.
“They’ve been forcing this lie on everyone.”
Exactly. That lie plus a dozen other liberal lies forced on us...
* COVID “vaccines” are effective
* the world is burning up
* men can magically change into women, governments can spend as much as they want without adverse consequence
* we can end policing and prisons and live happily ever after
* we can power our economy with windmills and solar
* Democrats don’t steal elections
artists in the 1890s usually sought out models ravaged by tuberculosis. So, TB chic came before heroin chic.
That girl in the top photo is not twiggy thin. She’s a healthy thin. Thats what normal healthy thin looks like.
Jack Frost, its 2022 and I’m living in the flippin Twilight Zone. The woketard totalitarians think the pig faces (bodies) are pretty.
