Isabelle Caro, whose 2007 "No Anorexia" campaign was banned in Italy, died on Nov. 17, but her family asked for her death to be kept private, Le Parisien newspaper reported. The cause of death was not known but Caro, who had suffered from anorexia from the age of 12, had recently been hospitalized for respiratory problems, the paper quoted her friend, Swiss singer Vincent Bigler, as saying.
Caro shocked the fashion industry when she bared for the campaign by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani - best known for his controversial ad campaigns for Benetton - which hit billboards during Milan fashion week. It was banned by Italy's advertising watchdog.
