How many ways can we say Ole! Barcelona fashion organizers at Pasarela Cibeles marked a milestone this past week by announcing that it will no longer allow uber-skinny models to grace their catwalks after 22 year old waif Luisel Ramos dropped dead this past summer from heart failure due to starvation. Any model whose BMI (Body Mass Index) weighs in below 'healthy' (18 on the BMI) will be barred from perpetuating first world hunger at all Cibeles collections. Madrid Fashion Week quickly reciprocated and there is pressure from British Culture Minister Tessa Jowell to encourage London, Paris, Milan, and New York to follow 'suit'. A word of advice to all runway models: Eat!
