Fashion industry issues model guidelines

I am happy to see that the fashion industry has decided to issue guidelines to designers, aimed at promoting healthier behavior among its models. The guidelines, which fall short of modeling restrictions announced in recent months by fashion show organizers in Madrid and Milan, were introduced at a meeting of the Council of Fashion Designers of America in Manhattan.

Considering the recent tragic deaths of some models, these guidelines are not soon enough, but it is a start in the right direction.
