Victoria Beckham has been flying the flag for skinny models.

The singer, come designer who received praise for her collection, which premiered at New York fashion week, told viewers of the US chat show, The View, where she is a co-host: “Most of these girls are naturally thin.

“I don’t think that we should discriminate because they are too thin or too curvy or too large.”

However it seems the superskinny lady does have some limitations: “I had a casting and some terribly thin girls came in. It w
ouldn’t have worked,” she added.

She’s also fighting to keep underage models out of the catwalk, signing up to a campaign by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) which is calling for the industry to be more responsible about the models used and encourag designers to work with healthier sized models.

“The CFDA have reached out to designers, stylists and casting directors not to work with underage models, girls that are too thin and to be more ethnically aware,” said Victoria.
