Fashion or Food???
32% of women surveyed said that they would happily starve if it meant they could afford to buy more clothes.
This summer 49% of Women admit to spending more on looking good then eating, gorging themselves on fashion, not food. On the plus side it might mean they can get into that smaller size now.
“They call themselves Fashiorexic”
18% said they were spending more than half their wages each month on clothes and accessories. The poll of 4,315 females found that the majority - 34%, spend between £100-150 per person on food per month. In contrast, the average outlay of those polled was 11% of their wages, or £173.36.
“Fashion is clearly still a thriving industry, despite the economy” said Jill Tovey of MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, who commissioned the research. “More people seemed to enjoy searching for bargains online that traipsing the high streets.”
“With regards to ‘fashiorexia’, MyCelebrityFashion would never advocate eating unhealthily for the sake of fashion, and believe in balance.”
