    Because it promotes an unhealthy lifestyle.

    Thoughts?

    Wrong thing to do because you can still be skinny and healthy like you see with models like Kendall Jenner, Lily Aldridge or Stella Maxwell.

    If they look anorexic though with ribcage showing, shoulder blades sticking out and that they shouldn't be used.

    Does that mean they are going to want to see my portfolio then? Fat, old, bald, gaseous, wears underpants and socks for more than four days (to name some of my better points)
    Keep an eye out for me on the cover of Paris Match.

    Fair enough, they just need a doctor's certificate to say they're healthy. Shouldn't they do the same thing with male models though and require them to take steroids tests etc?

    What is the actual ruling? Without knowing that, an all out ban seems a bit controlling but something needs to be done about model agencies' expectations and rules.
