 目前,西班牙马德里正在辞退一批体重和身高都未达标的模特。
MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's fashion capital is in a tizzy over a ban on overly thin models at Madrid's fashion week, fearing it could be next with its own catwalk extravaganza less than two weeks away.
目前,在距离米兰时装周还有不到两周的时间,这座意大利时尚之都的时尚人士们正在担心过瘦的模特有可能被禁止登台。
Milan's mayor, Letizia Moratti, told a newspaper this week that she may bring the Spanish ban on underweight models to Italian shows.
意大利米兰市市长莱蒂齐娅·莫拉蒂近日对媒体说,她可能将西班牙禁止过瘦的模特上T型台的禁令在意大利时装秀上实施。
Madrid is turning away models whose body mass index, based on weight and height, falls below a certain level.
西班牙首都马德里目前正在辞退一批体重和身高都未达标的模特。
"With those kind of rules, we'd have to turn away 80 percent of models. " said Riccardo Gay, head of a model agency in Milan.
米兰一家模特经纪公司负责人里卡尔多·加伊说:“按照这样的规定,我们得辞退80%的模特。”
He also said Madrid had exaggerated the issue.
他认为,马德里在这个问题上太小题大做了。
"Some designers have used extremely thin models, but we haven't. We tell models to exercise, eat well, go to bed early -- sensible rules," he added.
他补充说:“一些设计师习惯使用特别瘦的模特,但是我们不用。我们要求模特做运动、吃好、早睡——这些都是人性化的规定。”
Madrid's regional government imposed the rules on fashion week to protect the models as well as teenagers who may develop anorexia as they try to copy underweight catwalk stars.
在前不久举行的马德里时装周上,马德里政府宣布了禁止过瘦的模特登台走秀的规定,这样做除了保护模特自身,也为了防止一些青少年因效仿这些T型台明星而患上厌食症。
Mario Boselli, head of the Italian fashion industry's chamber of commerce, said anorexia was a "rare phenomenon" in the fashion business.
意大利时装产业商会的马里奥·博塞利说,在时装界,患厌食症是“极个别”的现象。
"You don't solve these problems with new rules. We have to use common sense and work with everyone in the industry -- including the models -- to spread awareness and deal with the problem," Boselli told Reuters.
他说:“新规定并不能解决问题,还需要包括模特在内的所有业内人士共同努力。”
Moratti was unavailable for comment, having left on a trip to Japan.
米兰市市长莫拉蒂正前往日本访问,她没有对禁令事件发表评论。
Milan fashion week, which brings together top designers such as Versace, Versace, Gucci and Prada, starts on September 23.
即将于9月23日开幕的米兰时装周,将汇集Versace、Versace、Gucci和Prada等世界知名品牌的顶级设计师。 |
