I thought "Heroin Chic" was already passé. I understand where they are coming from, but I'm not sure this will really do much - banning models below a certain BMI number. Seems as discriminatory as banning someone above a certain BMI number and I doubt anyone would agree to that.
Models almost by definition represent an ideal, but there are so many other places those ideals are represented. Should films be banned based on the size of the actors? How about athletes, teachers, or other role models?
Fashions reflect the times, I'm not so sure they create them.
