February 25th, 2007

Legendary supermodel Claudia Schiffer spoke out against pressures on fashion models to be ultra-thin while visiting a Mexico City shopping center.
At a news conference on Wednesday night, she recommended that young models ignore their agents’ demands to diet, and said she relies on exercise and organic food to stay slim and healthy.
“I don’t do any diets,” said Schiffer, a special guest at Liverpool’s Spring-Summer 2007 Fashion Fest. “I’m absolutely against diets.”
