Fashion Week is taking place in Madrid next week and the big fashion scoop for the day is that The Association of Fashion Designers of Spain is banning skinny models from the runway! Itv reports that “Those with a BMI below 18 will be excluded from the Madrid show and offered medical help.”

"The restrictions could be quite a shock to the fashion world at the beginning but I'm sure it's important as far as health is concerned," Leonor Perez Pita, director of the Madrid fashion show, said in a

statement.

Also, the 18th International Fashion Festival in Dalian is taking place. Pictured here is a piece in the collection of “Sun Flora”.

I think that's great. But it will put a damper on the plans of designers. Will the clothes fit anyone larger? Can they hire new models in time?

I'd really like to know how the Madrid Fashion Show went. I think its really cutting edge of them to start this idea and I think the notion will grow over time, but I heard a lot of models were angry about the ban. Some were turned away but even more refused to go. I hope Madrid presists and that other cities take up the challenge.
