Recently Madrid has banned all underweight models from walking the runway. What good do you think this will help to the fashion industry and to the people surrounding it (like us, for example).
I need this for a school paper, so any answer is very much appreciated. It will be good of you can add little details too.. Thanks!!!

It's more difficult for the fashion industry to design clothes for normal sized models because they will have curves. When you're dressing an underweight model, clothes just hang from their bones. Madrid's ban will encourage models and aspiring models to take care of their bodies. Hopefully this will project a positive, healthy image to young women and prevent eating disorders. I really applaud Dove for using real women in their commercials.

The trend of overly skinny models started with Twiggy. The trend has thus-far made anorexia and bulimia more of an occurrence in teenager girls. The ban on overly-skinny models is a good thing because it shows adolescent girls that being too skinny is not something to try and mirror.
In my opinion showing people that are not in the fashion industry that being too skinny is a bad thing, is something to be proud of. I am considered average by American standards (a size 14) and have learned through many years of hard lessons that being the popularized ideal of beauty isn't really a goal to set for myself.
I hope this helps in your school paper.

Since they are obviously part of society that "models" to young ladies I think it's a good idea to "model" the appropriate image of a healthy person in ~~appropriate~~ clothing as well. We don't need to see the polar opposite as in "let it all hang out" so a balance with taste would be appropriate. What do you think?

The models that many girls look up to (well atleast for the weight part) will not be such negatives role "models"...and the "norm" for a good weight won't continually be lowering. I think society will improve, partially, although what's happened has really done it's damage, but yeah...

It will help the models to be healthier and feel less pressured to be underweight or succumb to eating disorders.
It will support a view of beauty as healthy weight instead of underweight.

Perhaps some 'REAL' women will get a chance to be the 'sexiest' women to be viewed-!
Personally, I find very 'skinny'-women to be not as 'sexy'-as more 'substantial'-models.....
Now, I'm NOT typeing-about, "hundreds-of-pounds-overweight' women,.... I just find women that are 'well-rounded' ....physically, as well as mentally, to be MUCH 'sexier'-than the 'opposite-type' of woman. IMO
Please, "bones-showing" / r'ibs-showing',etc does NO-thing for my own 'personal-libidinous' reaction in regard/s to what I find 'attractive' in regards-to 'models'.

Less cokeheads and skeletons on the runway...definitely not sexy. Good for Madrid!

it will make the models fit into the real worlds size, not the -3s that they "boast"

the young girls in society won't feel pressure to be so skinny.
