London fashion week has been overshadowed by a debate about the weight of the catwalk models featured in the show. The controversy was sparked by a decision by the organisers of Madrid Fashion Week to ban ultra skinny models with a BMI (body mass index) of 18 or under. Calls for London to follow suit have been dismissed by the chairman of London Fashion Week, Stuart Rose, who fought back saying its not a question of weight butÌýa question of health.
Jenni is joined by Melissa Richardson, co-founder of Take 2 Model Management and journalist and broadcasterÌýLowri Turner to discussÌýwhether the British fashion industry should follow Madrid's lead.
