Dior & Gucci Owners Have Banned Skinny Models From Cat walking

The fashion houses behind brands including Christian Dior and Gucci have said they will stop using underweight models for their catwalk shows. The firms will also not use models under the age of 16 for adult clothes.
Critics argue catwalk models promote an unhealthy and unrealistic body image, whereas fashion industry insiders have said clothes hang better on tall, thin women.

The move by the two French firms comes after a law banning ultra-thin models came into effect in the country in May. Those who break the French law face fines of up to 75,000 euros (£69,000) or jail sentences of up to six months. Models must also be able to present a valid medical certificate that they are fit to work. .. Guys, what do you think? ..
