Tyra Banks says Aids makes models thin

Published

Cannes - For Tyra Banks, one of very few black supermodels, Aids is a problem that is too often hidden in the fashion scene.

"There are cases where models look anorexic, but in reality they have Aids," she told a team from a German television show, Brisant, at the Cannes film festival.

Banks is scheduled on Thursday to join her beautiful colleagues - Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Laetitia Casta, Karen Mulder and Heidi Klum - on the catwalk at a gala dinner benefitting the Aids help organization, Amfar. - Sapa-DPA
