It was the opposite actually.

Madrid and Milan banned models with a BMI of below 18 from their fashion weeks. The London Fashion Council in Britain refused to do the same for London Fashion Week and Tessa Jowell (Culture Secretary) said it was not the Government's place to force them, although she spoke out against it.
