Ezithendeni (ezingokoqobo) zeParis Fashion Week, kuphakanyiswa umthetho omusha ePhalamende laseFrance ozovimbela onobuhle abane-BMI abaneminyaka engaphansi kweyi-18 ukuba bahambe emibukisweni yezindiza noma bavele ekusakazweni kwemfashini kamagazini. Umthetho uzodinga onobuhle ukwethula izitifiketi zezokwelapha kuma-ejensi abo okufakazela ukuthi i-BMI okungenani eyi-18 (owesifazane oneminyaka engu-5'7 "no-114 amakhilogremu angenza nje ukusika). kuphoqelelwe, futhi izinhlawulo zingafinyelela ku-$80,000.

Uma ivunywa, iFrance izojoyina i-Israel ekulweni nama-model angaphansi kwesisindo: Izwe elisempumalanga eliphakathi lafaka umthetho ngo-2012 ovimbela amamodeli ane-BMI engaphansi kuka-18.5 ezikhangisweni futhi edinga ukushicilelwa ukuthi kudalulwe lapho amamodeli edlalwa kabusha ukuze abonakale ezacile. ISpain ne-Italy nabo benze amagxathu ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kwabo kwamamodeli acwebe kakhulu, njengoba iMadrid Fashion Show ivimbela abesifazane abama-BMIs abo angaphansi kuka-18, kanti iMilan's Fashion Week ivimbela amamodeli anama-BMIs ngaphansi kuka-18.5. (Yini Amamodeli Adla Isiteji Sangemuva ngeviki Lezemfashini?)

Kube nenkulumompikiswano yokuthi ngabe i-BMI iyona ndlela engcono kakhulu yezempilo, kepha ingaba enye yezindlela ezingaguquguquki zokunquma impilo yezinhlobo ngoba icabangela isisindo nokuphakama, kusho uDavid L. Katz, MD, umqondisi we-Prevention Research Center e-Yale University School of Medicine kanye Umumo ilungu lebhodi labaluleki.

"Yebo, i-BMI ayikhombisi ukwakheka komzimba, futhi abantu bangasinda futhi babe nempilo enhle noma babe mncane futhi bangabi nempilo, kepha kulokhu kuyindlela enokwethenjelwa yokuzivikela kumamodeli angaphansi kwesisindo. Kuvikela emcabangweni wokuthi okuncane kakhulu kuwe kufanele uphumelele njengomodela wemfashini,” usho kanje. Ngeshwa, lokhu kungasho ukuthi amanye amamodeli akho owathandayo (ngisho nalawo abonakala efanelekile futhi enempilo) azokhishwa evikini leParis Fashion ngonyaka ozayo.

Ngokusobala, lezi yizindaba ezinhle embonini abaningi abakholelwa ukuthi inethonya elibi ezindinganisweni zamasiko zesisindo, okuvame ukuholela ezinkingeni zokudla. (Ngenhlanhla, sisenabesifazane abaningi abakhuthazayo abachaza kabusha amazinga womzimba.) Kodwa futhi kuyinhlakanipho ukucabanga ukuthi lesi sinyathelo sizolapha inkinga ye-anorexia embonini yezemfashini, kusho uKatz. "Lokhu-ke kuyakuvuma ukuxhumana phakathi kwemfashini nobuhle nempilo nempilo enhle, futhi kukhombisa ukuthi, kwesinye isikhathi, 'ukuzaca' kuyeka ukuba muhle ngoba kuyeka ukuba nempilo," uyanezela.

Thina bonke bayazi ukuthi okuqinile kuyaheha, ngakho-ke siyajabula ukubona umhlaba wemfashini ugxuma futhi.
