I think it's Heroin Chic.

[shaneystar2]

Just to define it's a fashion worn by stick thin tiny models .

Yes Heroic with inch Hero inch ic

[Argee]

Thank you. I was thinking Heroic Chic but it did not make sense. I can see Heroin Chic from the clue but it is not anything I have ever heard of, there is not much of it about in this neck of the woods!!

[Argee]

Not being stick-thin, nor tiny nor a model!

I must say I was a bit disappointed in Paul today - he usually puts in some clever long anagrams, but today's was fairly straightforward.

Quite right Argee, very disappointing. I usually find Paul to be one of the more tricky setters . It was more like a weekday puzzle than a Saturday Prize.
