Jay received a grilling from Nathan and Victor about the fashion industry's stance towards dangerously skinny 'size zero' models.
"In your industry it's a real contradiction," said Nathan, "because some people say size zero is a 'disorder', but some other people love it. I want to know what side you're on."
"This is going to be a long conversation," sighed the designer. "The size zero trend started because of a haute couture society - real big women who wanted to see skinny women thinking 'if I buy a dress I will look like that'. It's a real confidence thing."
Nathan then replied: "Whenever you ask a guy on the street if they like curves..."
"They always say curves," interjected Calista.
Jay agreed, but clarified his professional stance: "I think on a runway it's better if clothes hang on a model. From a buyer's perspective, you want to see how good it looks on a hanger."
