British Vogue's June Cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Earlier in the month, the bloggers at the modelling agency told you that all 19 Vogue editors collectively launched \u2018The Health Initiative\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only does the initiative aim to protect models<\/a> and encourage health and body confidence, but it also bans the use of underage or overly skinny models in the magazines.
\n
\nBritish Vogue Editor-In-Chief Alexandra Shulman seems to be completely on board with the positive change. However, during a talk in London last Wednesday evening, she expressed some concerns about being able to action the initiative given the fact that some designers still insist on sending her too small sample sizes.<\/p>\n

British Vogue published Shulman\u2019s view on the matter and how she has been prompted to write to designers on its own blog.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve written another letter to a designer this week because the sample sizes are too small,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll magazines use the same samples so if they are small it limits the choice of models that can be put in them. You are then by necessity showing a very small range of body types.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a limit to what I can do about it myself. We try by never using models who are under 16, and not using models with eating disorders. As part of the Health Initiative that Vogue has just launched, I am meeting all the top UK model agents in a couple of weeks to discuss what we can do in this country. However, other parts of the press need to take responsibility and change their ways too. Tabloids and weekly magazines that ring cellulite and promote diets are a part of the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wise words indeed \u2013 Talent Management for one hopes Shulman\u2019s proactive take on these problems has a positive outcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
