Can't wait for October 1st and the new rule to come in.

I really do wish the industry would sit up and take notice - the average dress size in the UK is a 16, so why do so many brands insist on marketing only to those who are tiny? <br /><br />I love the new regulation that's come in for catwalk models in France - fashion models now need to provide a doctor's certificate to prove that they're a healthy weight in order to be able to work, and from October 1st, magazines and other media will need to state if pictures of models have been digitally altered. It's a step in the right direction!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079193964311851611noreply@blogger.com
