Skinny VS Curvy

Tweet

26 year-old trendsetter Alexa Chung is featured in the November edition of British Elle – with this occasion, Alexa responds (once again) to the overwhelming ‘she’s so skinny, she must have an eating disorder!’ rumors:

“I cannot express how frustrating it is to not be believed when you say, ‘I don’t have an eating disorder,’ “I am naturally very thin. I get even thinner when I’m stressed. And you cannot imagine how stressed I was last year.

“It angers me because I don’t want to be a pin-up for young girls just for being thin. I don’t want to be admired for being thin as opposed to being dressed well, and I don’t want the two to get confused.”

… says Alexa.

MTV’s presenter Alexa Chung has heard a lot of eating disorder-related rumors lately and she’s setting the record straight:

Last night Alexa’s spokeswoman Liz Matthews denied rumours the star had an eating disorder.

Liz insisted: “She’s a very slim build. That’s her sister’s build, her mother’s build. There’s no problem with her weight whatsoever.

“Everybody’s body looks different depending on what you wear. It’s very easy to find a picture with bones sticking out.

“Alexa’s weight hasn’t changed for four years and she takes her role as a style icon and someone young girls look up to very seriously.

“It’s just the shape of her body. Some people are born with a body that’s small and slender – there’s nothing she can do to make it any other shape.”
