FRANCE — French Lawmakers said they are considering outlawing super-skinny fashion models.
If they got their way, hiring a dangerously thin or under-nourished model would be a crime.
Models would be required to prove a minimum weight for their height through medical certificates and periodic weigh-ins.
“I think it’s going to help a lot of young people see more diversification of beauty and relax them in being driven for this ultimate thinness that is very, very dangerous,” said professional model Emme.
She said she hopes similar laws are passed in the United States.
The proposed laws in France are part of a broader package meant to combat Anorexia.
If caught, the offending model would have to pay $80,000 in fines and spend time in jail.
