# Banning Size Zero US Considers "The Beauty of Health" By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-06-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designers-decide-models-are-people-size-zero-may-disappear-soon References: [fashionindie](http://fashionindie.com/cfda-to-host-the-beauty-of-health/) The Council for Fashion Designers of America may have gotten a wakeup call from Europe, where some governments are banning very, very thin models, the size zero. At London Fashion Week a model was actually told she was too thin and would not be allowed to model. The [CFDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cfda-and-swarovski) will host a panel discussion called "The Beauty of Health" at an upcoming confab. Ali Michael, a former anorexic who was turned down for being too fat, will be on the panel. It's been a long time coming, but it appears the U.S. fashion biz will get involved before the government does. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Body Positivity:** Opportunities for brands to promote diverse body images and embrace inclusivity in the fashion industry. - **Ethical Fashion:** Potential for fashion companies to focus on sustainable practices and promote healthier standards within the industry. - **Mental Health Awareness:** Emerging opportunities to address the psychological impact of beauty standards and promote mental well-being in the fashion industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can innovate by advocating for healthier body standards and showcasing a diverse range of body types. - **Beauty:** Beauty industry can embrace a more holistic approach by promoting self-acceptance and mental well-being alongside physical appearance. - **Wellness:** Wellness industry can collaborate with fashion brands to incorporate mental health initiatives and promote overall well-being in the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Body-Inclusive Reality TV Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roses-for-every-body.md) - [Non-AI Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-code.md) - [Nostalgic Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unseenbeauty-initiative.md) - [Community-Driven Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitless-campaign.md) - [Country-Wide Cosmetic Chemical Bans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ban-pfas.md) - [Potato Sack Couture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haute-potato-collection.md) - [AI Virtual Fitting Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-virtual-fitting-room.md)
