Plus size at Prada?

Wow, THAT is considered plus-sized?

I think there plus size is a little different from what the free world classifies it as…because she doesn’t know plus!

I am really surprised at Prada. I remember reading an article and seeing a quote from Prada saying that she does not make clothes above a size 10, because she thinks they look hideous on people above a size 10.

So I am really surprised she put a more healthy looking woman in her show.

If you read on in the article. I really like what the author said, Models have their role in society and it becomes a problem when people compare themselves to them.

I think she hit it right on the nose. As women we need to stop comparing ourselves to other women and start becoming inspired to better ourselves from other women.

But, I am still boycotting Prada for that comment.

I don

Props to Prada for at least heading in the right direction. The model is clearly not a true plus size, however, she could have used a bra. Note the gapping @ the bust.

She’s only a little bit bigger than the typical 1980s/1990s supermodel, who all measured around 34-24-34.  And we all thought those girls were on the thin side back then.

Sure wish those designing for Target would take this hint and add Plus Sizes to their great lines.  I love that there are wonderful items by designers at Target…but at a size 1x it just ain’t happening for me.

uh “plus size” ha. I don’t know if that’s more insulting then using sticks.

Clearly, the high fashion world is not in tune with normal people if they consider that woman to be “plus sized.”  I agree with other people that she is more of an average size.  No wonder so many women (and men now too) have issues with their body image and self-esteem.

I would guess she’s a big 4 maybe a 6. Plus sized she is not. She’s not even average, average would be a 12. However, it is nice to see a model come down the runway that I don’t fear will collapse halfway through the show.

I’m no model woman. A model is just and imitation of the real thing.

That’s plus size?  Then I must be the 800 lb. shut-in.  Sheesh!

I do welcome though the return of womanly-looking models.
