LONDON — London Fashion Week organizers have dropped plans that probably would have barred many size-zero models from the catwalk, saying industry executives around the world felt they were not needed.
Hilary Riva of the British Fashion Council said her international counterparts complained that proposals to make catwalk models pass a medical exam were expensive and intrusive.
An industry commission was set up last year to address public concerns that excessive dieting damages the health of models and creates unrealistic expectations for young women.
