Size zero Victoria Beckham bans skinny models from promoting her range

It seems Victoria Beckham is never going to slip into a pair of denims from her own collection, for the waif -like star is showing 'zero' tolerance for ultra-thin models, and has banned them from promoting her fashion label.

Posh - nicknamed Skeletal Spice for her twiggy frame - does not want women like her to model her new denim range, and instead has hired curvy girls such as Daniella Sarahyba for the job.
Sarahyba - the former pin up for Sports Illustrated magazine - is well known in the industry for being slightly bigger than the usual catwalk beauties. The 35-26-36 Brazilian's own website describes her as a “voluptuous goddess” who has “a perfectly sculpted body with the curves and meat in all the right places”.
Some cynics say Victoria has picked curvy women so she will look better standing next to them when she launches the brand in LA, but friends say she only wants to hire girls who have more curves than she does because they look more “natural”.
A source told The Sun: “Victoria wants to give out a positive image that you don’t have to be ultra skinny to look good. Many of the models on the catwalk make young girls feel insecure about their own bodies.
“Victoria doesn’t want to be accused of giving young girls a complex about their image and putting pressure on them to be as skinny as her,” the source added.
Meanwhile, talking about her new range fashionista Victoria said: “I am completely obsessed about jeans. I have started wearing high-waist jeans but they do really squeeze you in round the waist and by the end of the day I was beginning to have mental images of my epitaph, ‘Victoria Beckham, done in by denim.’”
Victoria allegedly fits perfectly into a pair of 23-inch David Bitton jeans - which is the same size Gap use for a seven-year-old.
