Critic: Regular Models Not Chubby, Homely Enough
“They may be women from real life, but they are not ugly or fat.”
-The fashion critic for Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung is unimpressed by women’s magazine Brigitte, which has vowed to only use amateur models in its pages from now on. While Brigitte’s editors claim that the policy is aimed at curbing anorexia and providing more realistic images of women, detractors see it as “effectively a PR campaign aimed at boosting the magazine’s falling circulation of just under 700,000.”
