Banning ultra-thin models from the runways might be the next fashion trend, but it’s one that the fashion industry in London is in no hurry to follow.
The Model Health Inquiry - a panel of British fashion industry workers and an eating disorder specialist - made no recommendation on ultra-thin models in an interim report released Wednesday. It did recommend banning models under age 16 from the Fashion Week catwalk shows, saying the youngest were particularly vulnerable to eating disorders and sexual exploitation.
