Karlie Kloss for Vogue Italia.. too skinny?

Today I saw this editorial in Vogue Italia of American model Karlie Kloss.. I first noticed her as the newest Angel on the Victoria's Secret show.. and then saw this.
She is, without a doubt, a ridiculously beautiful girl and deserves all manner of success in the modelling business.. but there is something about these photos that made me openly shudder.



Sorry about the boobs, but its Italian Vogue.
I think, that this girl is overly skinny and would be worried about the way these images portray female beauty to the younger generation. She looks like the wind might snap her into a thousand tiny, albeit good-looking pieces.

I am quite obviously aware that skinny girls is the norm within the industry and I'm not condemning it, just thinking that perhaps this has taken beauty to a new and unachievable level.

Steven Meisel always pushes the boundaries, but I feel like this time someone should have stepped in and stopped this going to press.

It is absolutely no fault of Karlie Kloss, she looks the way she does and it is coveted in the fashion industry.. and damn does she have the longest legs in the world.

Love Jules xx

P.S. After it's negative reception the picture on the left about was pulled from future publications.
