So the French parliament is trying to ban advertising that promotes excessive thinness. Of course the French couture lovers are up in arms about how can a judge rule whether a girl is too skinny or not. It is rather interesting that France, a country renowned for beautiful people, amazing fashion and, of course, its couture shows is one of the first taking a stab at trying to promote a healthier body image to women and men.
I'd like to think this will work though I am not too sure whether the entire fashion industry will bow down and allow regular looking people on the runways and in ads...it would totally remove the amount of power advertising has on all of us if we looked at an ad and thought "I totally look as good as her" and meant it.
