This looks shopped. I can tell by the pixels, and from having seen quite a few shops in my day.

Having gotten that out of my system:
I have no idea what the hades is wrong with fashion designers. Its like they forgot women were built to have curves..wait...
A career field <sarcasm> populated by pederasts and sodomites dressing people to be 'pretty'</sarcasm>
I think fashion design is having a Daliesque Cubist Picasso movement.

Hmm I'm not overweight, or a housewife sitting on the sofa eating whatever, in fact not even female and I think that the women they are trying to shove down our throats as beautiful aren't attractive due to not having curves in the right places, and look very unhealthy. Either end of the weight spectrum is dangerous after all.

So how do these designers catergorise me?

Personaly my opinion is that they have a desire to commit necrophilia and so mould their models accordingly. Lagerfield is free to respond

Thye plot thickens. The model in the original post that was shopped claims she was fired by said designer for being too fat.

She still looks unhealthy in the unshopped photo. As for the firing it sounds just plain... shocking. Saying the size the girl is a is too fat creates even more of a disturbing message to people and these fashion companies should really be looking to reality.
And personal opinion that dress looks like it is hanging off her.

Frazz, yahoo is posting the same news. She's 5'10" and 120 pounds, and that is, apparently, too fat for Ralph Lauren. That sounds pretty damn healthy to me. And her non-photoshopped photos in the article, imho, look a lot better. I like those lady humps. And because I like including somewhat OT movie quotes, as Will Ferrell would say, "No one knows what it means, but it's provocative."

That itself is massively underweight.

5 ft 10 inches and only 120 lbs? My Boy is a stick at 5ft 5 and he's nearly 110.

I have a feeling the firing also had something to do with her being the epicenter of bad publicity from that terrible photoshop.

If that 5'10" height is based on 4" heels, her weight might be near normal.

Maybe she carries lucky lead weights?
Is it pre-purge weight?
