Rocha suggested making sample sizes slightly larger, so that someone just over 100 lbs doesn’t need three people to help her fit into a dress. She also suggested stocking healthier food at shows.

For his part, Kors said that “being thin, we know, is about genetics, sleep, a healthy diet and exercise and hopefully not about starvation, bulimia, too many cigarettes or dressing a preadolescent girl up to look like an adult.” He added that agents should be more discerning when sending girls to castings so as to not send girls in a “tizzy” when they are not booked.

New York Magazine reported that Kors mused as he left the event that, “The next one we need to do is about skinny people who work in fashion: editors, buyers, stylists. That’s called ‘Why Does This Sample Fit Me?” 

The event was attended by many fashion heavyweights including Donna Karan, Francisco Costa, Derek Lam, the  Marchesa' girls, Doo-Ri Chung, and Phillip Lim.
