Too Fat For Our Label

You have probably seen this picture from Ralph Lauren’s add before and overheard the dispute there has been about sizes of runway models. This particular example is über-last season, I know. But nevertheless; it’s so damn important that we focus on this today, tomorrow and in the future. That’s why I keep bringing it up.

Especially because I’ve seen this gorgeous model girl on Rose Bar in NYC, no makeup and in sandals. She is skinny, tall, gorgeous and NOT tooth pick – gross looking as the picture below. That picture is the result of some male retoucher who’s gone completely overboard in his own fantasy about young boys.

See, the problem with the fashion industry is that it (to a large degree) is run by men who love teenage or 20-something boys without curves and metabolisms like 3 year-old racehorses.

I cannot comprehend that Classy Mr. Lauren is falling for this fashion nonsense and has fired her. She’s the bomb! And what kind of signal is that to send to his potential costumers??? I know that he is selling a dream. But seriously! This is ‘anorexia-madness’ on speed and not a dream scenario that I or any of my cool inspiring friends would like to aspire to.

I read this article on a great site that I found called LELAMODA and felt like sharing it with you..
