•The “Skinny Model Ban” is a controversial ban
enforced after the death of two fashion models, Ana Carolina
Reston and Luisel Ramos, in 2006.
•The ban was created in order to force the
world of fashion to promote an image of health to counter eating
disorders and the “thin requirement” of models.
•The ban only allows models who meet the
healthy average weight of the Body Mass Index (BMI), to work.
•The fashion industry disagrees with the ban
and its relation to the promotion of eating disorders.
