SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew) Adi Barkan, model agent and fashion photographer: "The law we want to pass in the Knesset is a law that will forbid commercial companies from hiring models who have a BMI value that shows malnutrition.

Barkan taking photographs of model STORYLINE: An Israeli fashion photographer and model agent is stepping up his campaign against the fashion industry's use of ultra-thin models. Adi Barkan, who has worked in the fashion business for some three decades, is critical of the pressure put on models to be thin and has been campaigning for years for industry standards that ban the use of models suffering from malnutrition. Barkan has called for the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI), an internationally recognised measure of a person's weight in relation to their height, to screen for healthy models. In the coming days he is set to release a campaign featuring three contrasting models; one healthy girl, one girl with a below healthy BMI value and one anorexic girl. The anorexic girl is seen in the campaign poster next to the thin model and the slogan reads: "She is dying to look like her". 26-year-old anorexia sufferer Aya Barazani - who is participating in the campaign - has suffered from the disease for 12 years and at her lowest point weighed a mere 25 kilogrammes. She said it started from a desire to look like models in magazines.
