skiny supermodel ban...

In the recent shows in spain shows supermodels were not allowed to walk due to them being to skiny. This has been the seen in some of the worlds top 10 supermodels, this is due to them being seen as underweight therefore there height to weight ratio, was not correct according to the ABC News US, that it was due to a model dieing in a recent fashion show in South America. For the models to be able to walk in the fashion shows they had to have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 18, which is seen as the healthy weight for a model to be walking in the show. I think that this ban on supermodels being to skinny is a good thing for the fashion industry, due to the fact that is shows young girls that it is not getting the body image that you have to be skinny.

This skinny ban has not been carried through all the fashion shows of recent Paris' show because they believe that underweight models should not be banded. This is due to the Paris show corridnator think that it is nto going to solve the health issue in young girls becoming anoeerixic. They believe the only way to stop young girls being obessed with the idea of being super skinny or anoerixic.

There has been some controversity seen over Australian super Model Gemma Ward who is current the 2nd ranked catwalk model in the world. As she did not turn up to the Milian show, people are speculating the reason why she did not turn up is because she is was scared that she would not be allowed to walk due to the new standards.
