Madrid Bans Skinny Models From Catwalk

Skinny is out!  It’s official!  At the Madrid Fashion Show, 30% of the female models were turned away for being too skinny.  This is welcomed news to those concerned about fashion’s impact on female body image.  Delightful.

MADRID (AFP) - Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported.

Madrid’s regional government, which is co-financing the Pasarela Cibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in last year’s show because they weigh too little.

The authorities collaborated with a Spanish health organisation to come up with a minumum body mass—a height-weight ratio—of 18 for the models.
