Five years after the establishment by the CFDA number of measures to make more "healthy" parades in New York, Conde Nast is today publishing a charter committing the 19 editions of Vogue to promote a "healthy" female body ...
Slowly but surely, the little world of fashion is beginning to realize the danger of promoting extreme thinness. It must be said that by the cast of teenage body barely formed, shooter girls silhouette bloodless and celebrate the beauty of "it" girls more than filiform, the fashion industry has come to create a real gap between the image of women and that it promotes a certain universal beauty, healthy and safe.
Thus, after having given herself to serve as mentors to the best models during fashion weeks (healthy food backstage, allowed to work after midnight for girls aged under 18, etc ...) , the fashion world today sees one of his newspaper groups most influential attempt to move the lines in terms of aesthetic standards.
Entitled "The Health Initiative", the charter signed among others by Emmanuelle Alt (Vogue Paris), Alexandra Shulman (Vogue UK), Franca Sozzani (Italian Vogue) and Anna Wintour (U.S. Vogue) engages in the effect of Conde Nast publications to cultivate dimension "healthy". Now the girls appearing in their pages and must be over 16 years and disseminate an image of "healthy" beauty.
The editors of Vogue have also committed to casting agencies require increased vigilance on the age of their young recruits, but not to encourage creators to design clothes microscopic in size, requiring to use ultra-thin models.
Therefore hope that all these good intentions will not remain a dead letter. The appearance of a little less skinny girls in different editions of Vogue could indeed push the other magazines to follow suit, triggering a chain reaction that could redefine the very concept of ideal body ...
