Too thin is no longer in -- in the Parisian world of high fashion.
Key members of the French fashion industry have signed a government-backed charter aimed at fighting against anorexia and promoting healthy body images.
The document asks those who sign to work toward "a diversity of body representations" and "not to show images of people that could help promote a model of extreme thinness."
The international fashion industry has fallen under a harsh spotlight for stressing the super-thin look.
Concerns about anorexia have grown in France -- and around the world -- since the reportedly anorexia-related deaths of several South American models in 2006.
One French lawmaker is proposing a bill to make it possible to convict people responsible for Web sites or fashion ads that encourage anorexia.
