CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors and model Coco Rocha led a discussion where they spoke candidly on “The Beauty of Health: How the Fashion Industry Can Make a Difference.”

Rocha's words, although they echoed what many already knew, were the most powerful as she spoke about once being told the anorexic-look was in and that at just 108 pounds, she had to lose weight.

The Canadian supermodel continued by detailing how she would dash past full-length mirrors, ashamed of her body. Understandably, Rocha eventually caved into the industry’s pressure and took diuretic pills. At one point, she says, she took so many on an empty stomach, that she spent hours doubled over.
