Fashiorexia: A third of Brit chicks starving for fashion
Apparently we’re a right nation of stupids. Some 32% of us say we’d starve for fashion and half of us spend more on clothes and accessories than food each month, says research.
Good old girls. Despite the credit crunch and a general downturn in consumer splashing, the female of the species still splurges away on fashion and appearance. Yeah, guilty. I spent £45 on my seven-year-old’s haircut the other day, just so I could justify getting my own haircut at the same time. Thereby spunking £90 in about an hour.
Anyway, 32% of women polled said they’d forego food and use the money for buying clothes and bangles and bags and what-not, 28% of us admit that this ‘diet’ is one way we keep our weight in check.
Of the 18-25 year olds polled, over half thought this way.
And it’s not just the foolish young fillies, 21% of 31-40 year olds were up to the same tricks, and 56% of this lot spent more on fashion than eating.
Some 4,315 female members of the general public were polled by www.MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk. Spokeswoman, Jill Tovey, said:
“Fashion is clearly still a thriving industry, despite the economy. More people are searching for the best deals and bargains online rather than traipse the high streets, and clearly enjoying themselves whilst doing it!
“With regards to ‘fashiorexia’, I and MyCelebrityFashion would never advocate eating unhealthily for the sake of fashion, and believe in balance.”
