Size zero - is it doomed?

"Good Lord," I said to my friend as we perused racks of clothing in the mall. "This wouldn't fit my right thigh, let alone my hips. Who is buying these? Thirteen-year-old boys?" That small exchange sums up my feelings towards size zero and its frightening successor, size 00 or double zero. Unless you're less than five feet tall and genetically petite, is it ever healthy to be a size zero? If not, then why are the people who model clothing that slim? Isn't that sending exactly the wrong message to the masses?

That's why I was intrigued by this article titles The Death of Size Zero from the Times UK.

The argument is that size zero is going out of style, especially since Daisy Lowe hit the fashion scene in Europe. Lowe, the 19-year-old daughter of Gavin Rossdale, is supposedly the hottest thing to hit the fashion scene of late, and some think her size has something to do with it -- she's slim but not 'model slim' (read: bones jutting out from her body.) And with the popularity of full-figures in the media these days -- take the popularity of Mad Men's voluptuous leading ladies, for instance -- teeny tiny sizes seem to be on the out.

What do you think? Are smaller sizes on the way out? Or will fashion designers always choose the slimmest models, regardless of the trends?
