Title: Curves May Be Mandatory For French Models
Post by: gOOber on March 26, 2015, 12:41:00 PM

(Reuters) - France's government is likely to back a bill banning excessively thin fashion models as well as potentially fining the modeling agency or fashion house that hires them and sending the agents to jail, the health minister said on Monday.

Style-conscious France, with its fashion and luxury industries worth tens of billions of euros (dollars), would join Italy, Spain and Israel which all adopted laws against too-thin models on catwalks or in advertising campaigns in early 2013.

"It's important for fashion models to say that they need to eat well and take care of their health, especially for young women who look to the models as an aesthetic ideal," Health Minister Marisol Touraine told BFM TV on Monday.

With major health legislation coming up for debate in parliament on March 17, Touraine said the Socialist government was likely to back two amendments relating to models' weight.

The law would enforce regular weight checks and fines of up to 75,000 euros ($79,000) for any breaches, with up to six months in jail for staff involved, Socialist lawmaker Olivier Veran, who wrote the amendments, told Le Parisien.

Wow.

I'm amazed that they would actually legislate modelling body morphology.

I understand why - an attempt to promote healthy body image and sane ways to attain and retain same.

But what's next?  Are they going to go against the other end of the spectrum too, and outlaw full-figure models?

 Yeah, this does sound a bit extreme but I'd like to think they knew what they were doing. I hope girls who are naturally stick thin but also healthy can still get into the industry, otherwise it wouldn't be fair. The only way to make sure would be regular health checkups and that might create all sorts of problems.
