NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
‘Heroin’ and ‘chic’ are two words that don’t belong in the same sentence.
But thanks to a recent headline by the New York Post, there’s much discourse around reviving the so-called fashion.
‘Bye-bye, booty: Heroin chic is back’, the article began, proceeding to explain how famously curvy stars, like Kim Kardashian, are losing weight, while thinner models, like Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber, are ruling the industry.
The ‘trend’ not only glamorises deadly drug addictions and portrays them as a fashion choice, rather than an illness; it also celebrates the look of a person being so thin that they are slowly losing their life.
