French lawmakers on Thursday adopted a bill forcing ultra-thin models to furnish a doctor’s certificate confirming they are healthy and magazines that Photoshop their silhouette to tag the images as “touched up”.
The bill stipulates that models must obtain a medical certificate stating that their health, “assessed in particular in terms of body mass index, is compatible with the practise of the (modelling) profession”.
Breaches of the law will be punishable by up to six months imprisonment and a fine of 75,000 euros ($82,000).
