Pressure mounts for 'ban' on zero size models

Pressure was mounting today for a catwalk ban on super-skinny models.
On the eve of London Fashion Week the growing trend for "size-zero" models in the fashion industry is causing grave concern.
Experts say legislation is now needed to protect the health of the models and of the teenage girls and young women who are influenced by them.
They are urging London to follow the lead taken by Madrid — and likely to be adopted by Milan — of banning models below a certain size from the catwalks.
Under any ban, super-thin models such as Lily Cole would be barred. London Fashion Week, which begins next week, has so far refused to follow suit.
The new Spanish rules say models with a body mass index — a ratio of height to weight — below 18 are not allowed to appear at its shows.
