Supermodel Cindy Crawford has lashed out at the fashion industry for demanding female models to be "thinner".
The 50-year-old star, who was among the first group of catwalk icons in 1980 era alongside Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, said the fashion business has drastically changed for the worst since she began modelling, reported Female First.
"I have a daughter who is entering this world, and the expectation is for them to be even thinner now. I was always a size six; I was never super-skinny and I never felt bad about it. Now, the models are expected to be so much thinner," Crawford said.

The former supermodel, who has a son Presley, 17, and 15-year-old daughter and budding model Kaia with her husband Rande Gerber, said the sudden insensitive transformation in the fashion industry is giving a wrong message to every girl.
"When every model is expected to be a size zero, I don't necessarily think that is a great message for women. The biggest change that I have seen for the young women that are modelling today is more pressure to be thinner," she said.
