MAKING WAVES

Two of the biggest names in fashion will no longer allow unhealthily thin models to walk the runways of their brand’s legendary shows. LVMH and Kering, the luxury conglomerates that own Gucci and Christian Dior, among other top brands, will employ models no smaller than a size 0, or French size 32 for women. The decision comes after years of criticism that the industry promotes unhealthy and unrealistic body standards.
