France,which prides itlf as the global innovator of fashion,has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women.Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that“incite excessive thinness”by promoting extreme dieting.
Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives.They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models ems to go beyond protecting models from starving themlves to death–as some have done.It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it nds women,especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must u to determine their individual worth.
The bans,if fully enforced,would suggest to women(and many men)that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty.And perhaps faintly,they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.

The French measures,however,rely too much on vere punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep–and bone-showing.Under the law,using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a$85,000fine and six months in prison.
The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types.In Denmark,the United States,and a few other countries,it is trying to t voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.
In contrast to France’s actions,Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age,health,and other characteristics of models.The newly revid Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:“We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals,especially on young people.”The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW),which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.
Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misu of body ideals may be the best step.Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.

For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country.In Britain this has had a curious result.While polls show Britons rate“the countryside”alongside the royal family,Shakespeare and the National Health Service(NHS)as what makes them proudest of their country,this has limited political support.
A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish hous but to save“the beauty of natural places for everyone forever.”It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience“a refreshing air.”Hill’s pressure later led to the creation of national parks and green belts.They don’t make countryside any more,and every year concrete consumes more of it.It needs constant guardianship.
At the next election none of the big parties em likely to endor this ntiment.The Conrvatives’planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conrvation,even authorising“off-plan”building where local people might object.The concept of sustainable development has been defined as profitable.Labour likewi wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppo development.The Liberal Democrats are silent.Only Ukip,nsing its chance,has sided with tho pleading for a more considered approach to using green land.Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local Conrvative parties.
The nsible place to build new hous,factories and offices is where people are,in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place.The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million hous in the London area alone,with no intrusion on green belt.What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.
The idea that“housing crisis”equals“concreted meadows”is pure lobby talk. The issue is not the need for more hous but,as always,where to put them.Under lobby pressure,George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal.He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets.This is not a free market but a biad one.Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow.They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character.We do not ruin urban conrvation areas.Why ruin rural ones?
Development should be planned,not let rip.After the Netherlands,Britain is Europe’s most crowded country.Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence,while still permitting low-density urban living.There is no doubt of the alternative–the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal,Spain or Ireland.Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.
