Extremely thin model |
(Scroll down for video) If you live in Israel and like to see very skinny female models you will have to look elsewhere, after a new law banning the use of skinny models went into effect at the start of the new year.
Ultra-thin models are now limited to history after the new law went into force in Israel at the start of 2013.
Only healthy-looking models with a body mass index greater than 18.5, as a result of the country’s most famous exported model, Bar Refaeli, will be able to work.
The law, passed by the Knesset last March, requires models to produce a medical report proving that they have maintained a healthy body mass index for three months before a photo shoot.
It also prohibits the use of models who appear under weight, meaning that advertisers are not allowed to make a model’s body look thinner than they really are using airbrushing.
Companies digitally altering photographs to trim unwanted weight from models must be clearly marked to indicate that the resulting images have been manipulated.
The law was brought into force to discourage overly idealizing of thin bodies after an increase in eating disorders in Israeli society, especially among young women.
Bar Rafaeli is believed to have a healthy BMI of 18.8, at 5ft 8in and weighing a pound 9st.
But the 27-year-old is clearly more curvy than others and has appeared regularly in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and in modeling for Ralph Lauren, Reebok, Gap and Marks & Spencer.
The new law was drafted by Danny Danon of the rightist Likud party and Rachel Adatto of centrist / liberal Kadima party.
“This bill is a step in the fight against eating disorders,” Adatto, a doctor, told news reporters after a preliminary reading of the bill in 2011.
“Underweight models,” she said, “can no longer serve as a model for young innocent girls who adopt and copy the illusion of thinness.”
She added: “Beautiful is not anorexic.”
