LVMH and Kering, two French luxury groups who own some of the world's most luxurious fashion brands like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Givenchy announced new rules for the fashion industry. They are banning ultra-thin models specifically, size 32 female models and size 42 male. Size 32 in France corresponds to XXS or size 6 in Britain, and size 0 in the United States. The groups said they had signed a charter for the “well-being of the models”, Reuters reported. The charter also bans the hiring models under the age of 16 to pose as adult models for shoots or shows.
Antoine Arnault, a board member of LVMH, said to AFP: “As the leader in the luxury sector, we believe it is our role to be at the forefront of this initiative. We have the responsibility of building new standards for fashion and we hope to be followed by other players in our sector.”
Arnault explained that some unnamed designers worked with UK size 6 models. “That's finished now, the size will be 34 (UK size 8) and above, which is already quite small.”
The new Rules will be implemented in the upcoming Fashion Weeks.

CHARTER ON WORKING RELATIONS WITH FASHION MODELS AND THEIR WELL-BEING . LVMH, together with Kering, has decided to establish a charter for the well-being of models that will be implemented throughout all their brands. This charter, which is applicable worldwide, reflects high standards of integrity, responsibility and respect for those concerned. The implementation of this Charter will start during the upcoming Fashion Weeks. A monitoring committee, made up of representatives of the brands, agencies and models, will meet each year (once every six months for the first year). . #ModelsCharter #LVMH
