Death By A Thousand Resolutions

Another City Councilmember makes her feelings known on yet another issue crucially linked to the vital day-to-day operations of the metropolis:

Joining an international campaign to keep dangerously thin models off the catwalk, a city councilwoman introduced a resolution yesterday that seeks to ban super-skinny models from Fashion Week runways.

“New York City is one of the leading capitals in the global fashion industry,” said Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan), who introduced the resolution. “It is now our responsibility to actively promote a healthier concept of beauty in our society.”

Brewer’s bill comes just a few days after Assemb. Jose Rivera (D-Bronx) introduced a bill in Albany to create statewide nutrition standards for actors and models under age 18.

Last month, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, a Manhattan-based trade group, issued guidelines about maintaining a healthy body weight and providing healthy food for models backstage. The guidelines also call on the industry to watch out for models who appear to have an eating disorder, and to refer them for counseling.

While those guidelines are voluntary, Brewer’s bill calls on the Council of Fashion Designers to make them binding for all fashion shows in the city. The biannual Fashion Week starts today and runs through Friday.

And then there’s the N-word . . .
