Vogue has vowed to ban underweight and underage models from the pages of its magazines. Alexandra Shulman, at the helm of the British edition, is among 19 other editors to have joined the pact, in a bid to stop the promotion of unrealistic body images. Going forward casting directors employed by the title will be asked to check IDs of models before booking them and flag up those who appear to have eating disorders.
The project builds on the guidelines already drawn out by Council of Fashion Designers of America and the British Fashion Council with the support of Vogue magazines in both countries. Alexandra Shulman said at a lunch hosted by the Wellbeing of Women - a charity dedicated to improving the health of women: 'Vogue has started The Health Initiative. 'We are working with 19 of the magazine’s international editors - and models agencies - encouraging them to use healthy models. We will continue to do so.'
