Although she wears a size zero herself, Victoria Beckham has come out against using models that are too skinny by
refusing to use size zero models for her denim line. Although she notes that many of the models she has known are "just naturally thin girls," Posh doesn't want to send the message that only ultra-thin is beautiful in her promotions. She has hired Brazilian model
Daniella Sarahyba to be the face of her brand, who will project a happy, healthy and beautiful image to consumers of any age.

Give me a break! Daniella Sarahyba is 5'10" and 118 lbsm with a BMI 16.9, well under the 18.5 limit for a normal weight. This is equivalent to an average 5'4" woman weighing about 98 pounds, hardly "healthy."

Well, yea, Daniella is still very thin, but she looks healthy...she looks like she is naturally thin.
And yea, there may be more size 16 women in the world than size 0's, but that doesn't make being a size 16 a good thing. That's why Heart Disease kills so many people every year..because more than half of the American population is overweight.
