Asked by presenter Emma Barnett what was fuelling the trend, Nnadi said: “I don’t think we can pin it on any one thing.
“I do think that Ozempic has something to do with it because we’re seeing a lot of celebrities who are using it, and I think there’s this shift in the culture around how we think about our bodies and how we address our bodies.”
Nnadi said she thought it was “important that all bodies are represented” in fashion, adding that it was an issue she and her colleagues were mindful of.
“Thinking about the models that we can have in our [photo] shoots is very important,” she continued. “And it was very important that we included models who were not sample size.
“But I think it’s not something that we, as a magazine, can change on our own, because obviously the designers are making clothes that are sample size.”
Referring to last season’s fashion weeks, where designers showcase their new collections, Nnadi said: “I didn’t think there was enough representation as far as body diversity.
“And it felt almost like, at certain shows, the models were especially thin.
“Hopefully the season will be a wake-up call and it won’t be that we see that kind of negative trend [and] that we see that progress.”
