France bans skinny models



(Reuters) - France will ban excessively thin fashion models and expose modeling agents and the fashion houses that hire them to possible fines and even jail, under a new law passed on Friday.
The move by France, with its fashion and luxury industries worth tens of billions of euros, comes after a similar ban by Israel in 2013, while other countries, like Italy and Spain, rely on voluntary codes of conduct to protect models.
Next, perhaps, there can be some pressure brought to bear on designers of women's shoes.

  1. Like empires and social mores, styles come and go. Trends are so temporary i take them to be meaningless.
