This Is Not A Size 8
Topshop was forced to remove ads featuring the mode above after a bunch of anorexia support groups got together and blasted the new ad. Topshop took down the ad, but the head of the company says the woman above is a healthy size 8. WTF is that guy smoking? I understand that British sizes are different than US sizes, but a British 8, is what, like a 4 or something? No way. I have no doubts the model is a very lovely teenager, but do we want teenagers to try and look like her? The company refused to take any other images of her off the site and insisted the woman is healthy. They are going to look like idiots if the woman ends up in the hospital or admits she has an eating disorder.
