Here’s something you typically don’t hear in the fashion industry, "You’re too thin for the job." But that’s what they told’em in Spain.
Organizers said they wanted models to project an image of heath and beauty and that the old look of anorexic heroin chic would not stumble down their runway.
Using a medical formula for accessing body mass, the average index for a healthy woman would range from a 18.5 to a 24.9. So they decided that anyone below 18 had a weight problem - they were too skinny!
How did the world at large take this news? So far, no one’s complained about the Barbie ban.
