¡¡¡¡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 runaways¡£ 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¡£
