The world's first ban on overly thin models at Madrid’s fashion week. “Organizers say they want to project an image of beauty and health, rather than a waif-like, or heroin chic look.”
This is being enforced by Madrid’s regional government in an attempt to hold the fashion industry responsible for portraying healthy body images.
The show is using body mass indexing (BMI) to measure the models (weight and height). 30% of the previous years models aren’t allowed to ramp the runways this year!
