Liv Tyler recently sat down for an interview with Yahoo! Style, where she talked body image. The site quotes her as follows:
“I go through periods where I just want to wear sweatpants and a puffer coat, and I wish I lived in Maine where I grew up and I could just jump in the car and go to school. And then I stop myself and say, wait, you’re so lucky you get to live in New York City and you have beautiful clothes. Pull yourself together...I was in a design meeting and they had all these mood boards, of each thing we want to make. And most of the pictures were looks I’d literally thrown on to walk Milo to school in the morning.
Samples are a size zero — they’re so tiny. I’m 5'10", a giant, and I wear a size 10 shoe. Sometimes I just have to settle for what fits. If you look back at Helena Christensen or Christy Turlington, they were probably a 4 or a 6 — they had beautiful bodies, very lean, obviously, and gorgeous. They obviously took beautiful care of themselves — they weren’t malnourished. The girls walking the catwalk [now] are very, very thin and very tall...I hate to make big statements because people just run with it and take it out of context. The whole industry has changed, it’s hard to comment.”
