Gimmick or groundbreaking chance for change?


















There’s always a fair amount of debate over the size and shapes of the models at any fashion week, but in stark contrast to the super-skinny girls Victoria Beckham chose to model her latest dress collection, designer Mark Fast picked size 12 and 14 girls to model in his weekend LFW show. Is this a groundbreaking chance for change or just a gimmick for a fairly unheard of designer to gain more publicity? (taken from heatworld.com)

Although i agree that they should use models who are a normal size on the catwalk, why put these girls in clothes that are ill-fitting? The hair and make-up does nothing for them either. It feels like a half-hearted attempt, almost a ploy to make using normal sized girls look bad so everyone continues using starving size zeros! I find it sad that sizes 12-14 are considered plus sizes these days, i mean what kind of message is this sending out!
