Subject: [Textiles and Technology] Textiles/fashion: Voluntary Code
ofConduct on body image

 

The Code outlines Principles to guide industries to adopt more body
image friendly practices. It encourages more diversity in the selection
of models, a wider range of clothing sizes in retail fashion, the use of
realistic and natural images of people, and disclosure when images have
been digitally manipulated.
