London Fashion Week kicks off - focus on health

The video discusses the debate over implementing health checks for models in the fashion industry. The British Fashion Council argues that such checks would be impractical and costly, affecting only a small percentage of models. The checks would not effectively diagnose eating disorders, which require more complex testing. Some agencies provide support systems, including trainers and counselors, to help models maintain health. Designers like Marcus Wilmont advocate for healthy models, emphasizing the need for industry standards that promote well-being. The video raises questions about responsibility for model health and the ethics of the fashion industry.
