Rise of the Manorexics

It all began when Hedi Slimane took control of Dior Homme and introduced the 
world to his own vision of how men should look which is rail thin, sickly and 
pre-pubescent. Whether its an homage to the Rolling Stones of the 60's or it's 
because he himself is built like a chopstick and wanted to make clothes for 
himself, the look took off. 

Editors cut back on the protein shakes and spent less time in the weight room of 
the gym building muscle and dedicated themselves to losing muscle mass to fit 
into Hedi's skinny jeans. It was the rise of the Manorexics. 

The trend would trickle down to the masses and men poured themselves into pants 
that reduced their fertility levels. It is a look that is still with us that's 
slowly fading away only because Hedi took time away from designing for a couple 
of years. 

But he's baaaack!!! With a YSL collection set to debut this fall, it won't be 
long before he starts designing the men's collection too. And when he does it 
will be time again to "gird your loins."

YES: Women and gay men aren't the only ones obsessed about their weight. 
Straight men are just as narcissistic. They just hide it better.
NO: I don't think there's a manorexic anonymous meeting just yet. 
MAYBE: You are built like a wire hanger and you can't help it.
