The members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America launched an updated set of rules for models, right before New York Fashion Week.


The New principles of fashion world invoke a healthy lifestyle, having the main goal to guide the models to a healthy lifestyle...



One of the most important changes (in the form of a ban) was brought in terms of age: no model under the age of 16 years will be permitted to attend Fashion Week.


           


President of the "Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) - Diane von Furstenberg along with the CEO, Steven Kolb, said: "The Council of Fashion Designers of America will continue to send this message:

”Health means beauty and diversity” to which we will remain loyal not only during the Fashion Week, but throughout the year."

"Fashion Week" became a commanding voice and gained the power to influence billions of people across the globe, so you should not underestimate the consequences of the messages that we send to you."


Furthermore, we received guarantees from all the world's top agencies - including DNA, Elite, Ford, IMG, Marilyn, New York, Next, One, Supreme, Trump, Wilhelmina and Women - that they will respect the age limit and thus will not send for performance models under 16.

Each of us has the power to influence the lives of women around the world.


Together we can make it known to the entire world that we pledge to the motto "Diversity and Health means Beauty".

In the following lines, you can review some of the new rules imposed by CDFA:

1. "Educating the fashion industry regarding the identification of the models with signs of eating disorders"

2. "Encouraging the models with eating disorders to obtain medical support"
"Those models undergoing specialized treatment can continue their career in the modeling industry only with professionals approval"

3. Organizing workshops (involving models and family members) to discuss issues such as: the nature of eating disorders, how to identify those problems and finding complications when they are not treated

4. "Models aged under 18 are not allowed to work after midnight and rest breaks - during working hours - are mandatory"

5. "Ensuring regular and healthy meals, snacks, and water in backstage and also education through fitness"


Hopefully, all these rules will be respected, as almost all the teenagers follow and adopt the lifestyle of runways models:

they all torture their bodies for getting their melting weight, even though they dangerously ignore the healthy rules!
