A stylist walking out because of a designer's decision to use a figure that resembles more than 50% of the population, rather than an idealistic, child-like female form thought up by a market run by mainly gay men.
What world are we living in?
How is a size 12-14 size model threatening, apart from force the guilty-conscious to look at what they are promoting?
Careful, the bodies will become a bigger focal point than the clothes. And yes, this is a massive PR coup, though who is actually talking about Mark Fast' frocks?
What is interesting is that the use of these models makes you place yourself in the knits that Fast has created. Instead of seeing the clothes from a aesthetic side and deconstructing them, one can image themselves at a dinner party et al, purely because three of his models have a body like yours. Perhaps that is what is threatening- no longer will clothes be elitist.
Side note: the models were hot shiz. Let's see more Joan Holloway's up on the catwalk.
