- Benefits of Membership
Authenticity and protecting your integrity
For models, scouts and agencies, reputation is a critical part of the trade. During 2006 and 2007 during an independent review undertaken by the Institute of Modeling, we found that over 30% of people had discovered they had been approached by a ‘fraud’ trying to pass themselves off as a known figure within the industry. One of the key benefits for the system is a ‘ID check’, so that with either a name, ID number or even area your status as a member can be checked.
This is the first system within the industry to offer this tool - to help everyone in the industry protect themselves.

Banning Size Zero??
Proposal Ref: LP/2629
Proposal Overview
"Banning size zero" has been the slogon of the last two years. The Institutes BMI index proves to be a more trustworthy method of regulating the modeling industry. - Author: Institute of Modeling
The Full Proposal
Ever Since the tragic loss of Eliana Ramos and her sister Luisel from eating disorders, the public has wanted a change to the way in which petite models are exploited for their 'extreme' appearances. Banning size zero is not the solution to the problem, better understanding of nutrition is the better option.
Unfortunately the problem with banning size zero is that there are naturally petite models who would be disadvantaged through this option. Instead the method we have adopted following consultation with various partners is that of a BMI grading system. This system means that models under a 16 BMI or over a 30 BMI would be shown as 'non-conforming'.
Our advice is that only models betwene 16-30 BMI be used by agents. Should an agent use a model outside of this scope who then becomes ill because of their size, we would investigate the agent for exploitation.
A range of advice is available from our partners should a model need help in maintaining a healthy balance.
Outcome
These proposal are to be made legislation with the Institutes guidelines on November 2nd 2009.0 Comments 138 weeks
