A Ralph Lauren representative said "For over 42 years we have built a brand based on quality and integrity."
"After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman's body."
The model, 23-year-old Filippa Hamilton, size 4 model (she is 5'10" and weighs 120 pounds) has been fired as a result of "her inability to meet her obligations under the contract with us."
She claims she has been fired for being too fat.

Siempre es interesante ver que después de una década de proclamar la extrema delgadez ahora se vean forzados a disculparse por ella. BTW, no tienes la foto "heavily-UNphotoshopped"¿? Just to compare...
ReplyDeleteLook at www . popcrunch . com / filippa-hamilton-photos/
ReplyDeleteThere is also a video of her talking about being fired for being a size 4. I remember her formal RL ads from Romance perfume and such. I think she's gorgeous. Yes, she has gained weight, but the photoshop work they did was beyond human proportions even for an anorexic. It made no sense!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the web Kate!! I have added the link!
ReplyDeleteElena, I have uplodaded one picture of the REAL model. You can also see more on the interview page.
It looks completely grotesque and absurd for me!!
Wow! Now I also remember her in RL ads...thanks Kate for the website and i´ve read the Times on Line article that María talked about too.
ReplyDeleteI don´t think this is going to reduce their sales and that´s the problem in the end for...because sadly i´ll keep buying things even though i don´t agree at all with this image.
María, thanks for keeping us informed..y entretenidas! :)
