Gisele Bundchen says the fashion industry is not responsible for causing young girls to suffer from anorexia ““ insisting it is the parents fault.

The 26-year-old supermodel is adamant the families of anorexic girls are to blame for their problems, not the super-slim bodies promoted by models on the catwalks.

Gisele told Brazil’s Globo newspaper: “I never suffered from this problem because I had a very strong family base. The parents are responsible, not fashion.

“Everybody knows the standard for models is to be thin, but you can’t generalise and say that all models are anorexic.”
