How can we work to end cruelty to women within the fashion industry?

When asked if models should be weighed in to show that they were not dangerously underweight, famous designer Diane Furstenburg replied "over my dead body". This reflects the view of most of the fashion industry.

What can we as citizens do to show that we to stop the use of dangerously underweight models within the U.S.?

I feel that this practice is morally wrong. What can I do about this as a citizen of the United States?

We need to rally for women/corporations in power to endorse more healthful images of women. Boycott/Protest/etc. People are slow to social reform; that's just the way it is .... but if we're loud enough, someone's got to listen.

Speaking of which ... Did you hear of the Dolce and Gabana rape add? A man was pinning a woman down by her wrists and two other men looked on casually. Really, the add sends chills down my spine. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20070226121749AABTKCN&kid=R5d9XjvoVTIX7Qs8KkwRv8da_AUCc_qMddnrksWOHAG61_wPd2Dh&s=comm&date=2007-03-05+07%3A55%3A10&.crumb=

We can do nothing, they choose that profession, and getting all Big Brothery on them won't do anything but make them dependent on the system. They have that new guideline in Italy about the minimum weight of female models for them to be accepted by judges/etc, but one has to wonder how many of them further abuse themselves because they were rejected for being >too skinny
