Catwalks ban models with BMI under 18, your thoughts?

[k8_doran]

Hello,

I just wondered what people's thoughts were on madrids latest idea to ban models which have a BMI of under 18. Is it good or bad? If good why hasn't it been done sooner and why are there / is there the need for stick thin bony models?

Many thanks in advance,

Kate

Since Twiggy models have always been thin, though I think she was naturally thin.
Clothes do look better on a slim figure but I think that they look awful on skeletal bodies, those girls look ill and whatever they say they are not eating properly.
The fashion industry has done a lot towards causing eating dis-orders, magazines are constantly telling us we should be on a diet. Food has become the enemy instead of something to enjoy.
Personally I'm a size 12 foodie and I'm happy and feel healthy.

i think it is a good idea kids growing up dont need an image of a stick insect where you have to be a certian this or that in life tec.

although i mean would you buy clothes from a store if you saw a woman of say a size 22 wearing them the answer is no you wouldnt.

why cant we just have normal looking models not a shaven matchstick!!
