Supermodel-singer Grace Jones says it is sad that models today are trying to achieve a size zero body and likens the figure to "the walking dead".
The 69-year-old model says she is glad that she no more walks the ramp as she would not have been able to dress in smaller sizes, reports The Guardian.
"I'm glad I'm not doing it now. I'd probably be dead. Everybody's so skinny. Size zero is like the walking dead. Not sexy at all. When I modelled, I would normally be a model size six, eight, though my shoulders are wide, it's hard to make them fit into things.
"Now I can't get into model sizes, because they're really small. When it comes to fashion, I'm loyal. I love Issey Miyake, Alaia, Kenzo, Philip Treacy," says Jones.
She added she was going to open a foundation in her mother's name for "teaching sewing and creating fashion".
