Fashion Week Food Diaries

It was genius. New York magazine asked two models, an editor, and a show producer to keep a 5-day food diary of what they ate during the New York Fashion Week. Now thats a really hip way of drawing attention to the truth/untruth about anorexia and its link to the fashion industry, wont you say?

Denise Mullins, modelling at 21, eats the yummiest, most interesting things: green tea, a cashew-cookie Lärabar, crab cakes, gummy bears, brown rice, and kimchee stew. She also seems very aware about the nutritional value of her intake.

Juris Kupris, a male model and personal trainer, has a lean and mean diet. Its embarassing but I think I will starve if I follow it. He looks incredibly fit and healthy though and an unlikely candidate for anorexia.

Nian Fish, a show producer, dines on sophisticated food stuffs (Mariage Frères Montagne d’Or black tea with honey and soy milk and swordfish, to name a few) in between meeting with CK models and the organizers of the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards.

Anne Slowey, Fashion-News Director and Accessories Editor for Elle magazine eats like a bird- all tiny bites of everything and vitamins and minerals.
