メンバーは課題を金曜までに読んで、ノートにも写して「質問を１つ」考えてきて下さい。
今週は「やせすぎモデルには頼みません」から。
フランスでは「痩せすぎモデル」の起用を禁止する法律が施行されていましたが、その後2017年9月にはルイ・ヴィトン、ジバンシー、グッチ、サンローランなどの有名ブランドの会社では最低BMI指数のチェックなど新基準を発表しました。
やっと「痩せている＝美しい」というのが古いという時代になりそうですね！

Are you interested in dieting? If so, you should never lose so much weight that you ruin your health.
Two French luxury fashion powerhouses recently announced they would stop using underweight models for their catwalk shows and campaigns.
The group that makes the Louis Vuitton brand, as well as another that manages the Gucci brand — two leading international fashion companies — said they will ask models they plan to hire to submit documents attesting to their well-being to prove they are not excessively thin.
More and more people in France are suffering from the eating disorder anorexia, creating a serious problem. The social norm of “thinner is better” is believed to be behind the situation.
The French government is speeding up efforts to cope with the problem. In May, Paris passed a law that bans using excessively thin models.
