Fashion show bans super skinny models

Skinny models have been banned from taking part in one of the most prestigious events in the fashion calendar.
The organisers of Madrid Fashion Week have announced that they only want healthy-looking people on their catwalk.

Models at next week's show will be weighed to make sure they are above a certain body weight for their height.
They will be assessed according to the body mass index scale used by doctors to measure obesity in patients.

The World Health Organisation says a woman is underweight if she has a BMI of less than 18.5 and that a BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is desirable.
Those with a BMI below 18 will be excluded from the Madrid show and offered medical help.

The move follows pressure from the regional government in Madrid.
The Association of Fashion Designers of Spain says it wants models at the the Pasarela Cibeles to project "an image of beauty and health".
