One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

From The Guardian:

The editors of the 19 editions of Vogue magazine worldwide have added their voices to efforts to tackle eating disorders and the use of underage girls in the modelling industry.

In a "health pact" published in their June issues, the editors jointly say they will not use models under the age of 16, or those they believe have an eating disorder, in an attempt to encourage a healthier attitude to body image within the fashion industry and among their readers.

The six-point pact states that the magazine will ensure that fashion models – in particular "younger girls" – are well cared for and given advice to help them better look after their wellbeing, in an attempt to address criticisms relating to the incidence of ill-health within the industry.

...

Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Vogue publisher Condé Nast International, said: "Vogue editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the well-being of their readers."

Shulman states in her editor's letter: "As one of the fashion industry's most powerful voices, Vogue has a unique opportunity to engage with relevant issues where we feel we can make a difference."

 I hope they ban the use of photoshop next.
