Ralph Lauren Needs To Re-Evaluate His Idea of “Fat”

Ralph Lauren Needs To Re Evaluate His Idea of Fat  emerging fashion Five-foot-eight, 120-pound model Filippa Hamilton-Palmstierna said goodbye to Ralph Lauren after four successful years for the label. But unlike models who get too old for the job, Hamilton-Palmstierna’s contract ran out because “of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with [Ralph Lauren].” According to Hamilton-Palmstierna, some obsessively photoshopped images (above) led her down the path to unemployment, her perfectly proportional body not up to the “skinny” modeling industry’s standards. Knock, knock- Hamilton-Palmstierna is NOT fat and photoshopped images are NOT real.

Thanks NY Mag!

  • To be honest, I was very surprised when this story broke. It seems that there is a somewhat conscious, albeit still sparse effort, to move towards body acceptance. I do think there is certain value in showing clothing on a thinner, taller body type, but what's shown in these photos is far outside of attractiveness or health.
