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。
