France Bans Super-Skinny Models

Shocking news for the fashion industry from France. French MP’s have just approved a new law to ban the use of fashion models deemed to be excessively thin. Under this new law, the models will have to prove that their Body Mass Index (BMI) is above a certain level. If the modeling agencies break the rule they will face excessive fines and jail time. The new legislation was passed in order to make it illegal to promote anorexia – a serious problem for all women around the world. The movement has put France in the same criteria with Israel, Spain and Italy where there are excessive rules to ban skinny models from working in the fashion industry. It might just be the perfect time to embrace your curves!
