France£¬which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion£¬ has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women¡£ Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways¡£ The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting¡£

Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives¡£ They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health¡£ That’s a start¡£ And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death –as some have done¡£ It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women£¬ especially teenage girls£¬ about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth¡£

The bans£¬ if fully enforced£¬ would suggest to women £¨and many men£© that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty¡£ And perhaps faintly£¬ they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques¡£

The French measures£¬ however£¬ rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing¡£ Under the law£¬ using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85£¬000 fine and six months in prison¡£

The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types¡£ In Denmark£¬ the United States£¬ and a few other countries£¬ it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement¡£

In contrast to France’s actions£¬ Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age£¬ health£¬ and other characteristics of models¡£ The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states£º”We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals£¬ especially on young people”¡£ The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week £¨CFW£©£¬ which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute¡£ But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance¡£

Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step¡£ Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry¡£
