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

Edited by Kirby Marzec

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.
