Right-on Livia launches rant at Sex And The City’s Carrie

Sarah Jessica Parkerhas long been hailed as a trendsetter for fashionistas all over the world thanks to her role as style icon Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and The City.

But it would appear her look on the hit show falls some way short of approval from self- styled queen of sustainability Livia Firth, pictured right, who has hit out at the star for showcasing her unrealistic flat stomach.

Livia, 52, the estranged wife of Oscarwinner Colin Firth, has attacked the actress for showing off something Livia suggests so few women can aspire to, it may cause eating disorders.

The ethical fashion campaigner voiced her disgust by sharing a picture of Parker, 56, top left, on set as Carrie wearing a cropped pink blouse with her taut midriff accentuated by a tight, above-the-waist belt.

‘Every time I see images like this (and I see a lot of them) I wonder a, why do we create clothes that only women who don’t eat can wear?’ asks Livia. ‘and B, why do we want to make women feel bad about their bodies if their tummies are not like these (and the majority of women don’t have a tummy like this). and C, why do we demonise eating?’

Livia adds: ‘So many girls and women

I know suffer from food disorders because of this and I wonder what will it take to turn the tide on fashion as a vehicle of so much mental health issues and destruction and instead use it for wellbeing and construction?’

Despite her criticisms of the actress known as SJP, Livia may be surprised to learn they actually sing from the same hymn sheet. The star has previously criticised Victoria Beckham and other slender stars for shedding their baby weight too quickly. ‘There’s all this emphasis on losing weight. Look at Posh Spice or whoever. But that life is not what’s real,’ she said.
