The ideal measurements used to be 90-60-90 cm (35.5-23.5-35.5 in) which allegedly referred to the measurements of Marilyn Monroe. However, today's fashion models tend to have the measurements of the AMA which could be down to the coherence of the numbers 34-24-34 in.

Organizers of a fashion show in Madrid in September 2006 turned away models who were judged to be underweight by medical personnel who were on hand. In February 2007, six months after her sister, Luisel Ramos - also a model - died, Uruguayan model Eliana Ramos became the third international model to die of malnutrition in six months. The second victim was Ana Carolina Reston. Luisel Ramos died of heart failure caused by anorexia nervosa just after stepping off the catwalk.
