A law in France banning the use of unhealthily thin fashion models has come into effect.
Models will need to provide a doctor's certificate attesting to their overall physical health, with special regard to the measure of their weight in relation to height.
The health ministry says the aim is to fight eating disorders and inaccessible ideals of beauty.
Digitally altered photos will also have to be labelled from 1 October.
Images where a model's appearance has been manipulated will need to be marked as retouched photograph.
