Mr. Olivier Veran, former MP of the Socialist Party, seemed happy: "When this law goes into action, people will no longer have to see skinny models in magazines or on French advertising ".
He is the person who made the proposal to amend related laws earlier this year, models and laws that have been passed on 17-12.
Veran French politician explained: "The law aims to girls being forced fasting to lose weight in order to find work in the profession."
Comes with the prohibition is fine. Accordingly, the magazine or modeling agency not obey will be punished to 6 months imprisonment and a fine of 75,000 euros for each sample "improper".
In addition, the new law also prohibits the use of body modification techniques for modeling the image to achieve business targets ads. Violation of this will be fined 37,500 euros.
The truth is that the modeling in recent times with the standard fixed "the more beautiful the more thin ..."! Ines Dauxerre, mother of former model Dauxerre Victoire Macon, has aired TV Europe 1 tells the story of her daughter almost lost his life because of the fast to the profession.
Mothers suffering caused to surprise the audience: "On the set model's often run without eating anything, at best give only an apple abdomen. 300 grams is reduced all too happy to. She will be praised for Bangladesh dryness of his body.
There is something intangible pressure, a law of silence among people concerned about eating pattern. Actually they are only found the girls eat normally appear before the lens when shooting alone ".
Ms. Nathalie Godart, doctor Mutualiste Montsouris Institute in Paris, outraged: "But beyond the story to protect the health legislation of the model, we need to pay attention to the way that the media create images on normal appearance of a young woman.
Once people build images of emaciated to the point of the benchmark illness, it will create distortions thoughts for teens ".
According to statistics there are about 30,000-40,000 people in France, of which 90% are teenagers, are being anorexia can lead to death.

About people panic and react sample
Law is law. The modeling and management model can not resist. Mr. Ralph Toledano, chairman of France Apparel Federation, told AFP: "When a model is offered practicing certificate, we were forced to review paper will stop."
To be licensed, a model in France will have a thorough physical examination is based on multiple criteria, not just weight and specialist doctors will be authorized to decide whether a model is fit to practice Job no.
That means if a sufficient sample weight gain but the general health condition is not good, it still can be approved "not fit to practice."
Ms. Nathalie Godart explained to AFP: "The certification practice is a matter of law, but it is essential to understand that in this new legislation is that she worked as a model of health will be monitored often more frequent ".
The problem is that the modeling has been thought to cram into her skinny style of Kate Moss ROC as a "benchmark" and a defense that's because she skinny ... skinny nature.
Illustrious fashion house Karl Lagerfeld, who often have the spokesman shocking about this topic, once said in 2013: "Nobody wants to see her on the catwalk meaty". He was right, but not sufficient. The form can not "meaty" but also can not scrawny!
After the law was passed in the French Parliament, the modeling industry has worried the day authorities will establish a minimum BMI to be allowed to slide.
Ms. Isabelle Saint-Félix, secretary general of the Federation of model management unit (Synam) gathers about 40 units in France, commented:
"I did not expect to find that BMI is defined in law as it could be a trap. Imagine the time it was decided that a model with certain subprime BMI will not be allowed to slide. That would be a disaster for the model management unit and we can see it as discrimination in employment ".
BMI (Body Mass Index stands) is calculated using the formula weight of the person (kilograms) divided by height (measured in meters). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adults with a BMI in the range from 18.50 to 24.99 is normal, below 18.5 is thin, on 25 overweight and above 30 is obese hypertrophy.
