These fashion designers, I think, consider themselves artists. And I'm sure that they would rather see their creations showcased on thin bodies, rather than bloated tubs of lard. The reality is that clothes hang better on tall, thin bodies, which is why models have always been tall and thin.

I concur. I'm a fashion student, and pretty much no one in my class is overweight (with the exception of one or two smallfats). None of them truly buy into fat acceptance, and most are by far focused on their art.

Models are thin because clothes simply look better on thin people - that's all there is to it. Of course, the fact that thin people are much easier to sew clothes for (hams are shaped unnaturally and strangely) helps too.

Pretty much. There's no sleek or gracious silhouette on fats. Clothes hang weirdly.

That was a beautiful response <3 I would buy a shirt from them if it said I am thin and gorgeous!

Honestly the last thing these designers want to be associated with are fats. Fats destroy their art. Their customers are horrified by fat. There's no downside to them being honest.

Fantastic. And why is it ubresponsible to push that message anyway? There are people who are thin and gorgeous, they too deserve clothes celebrating their bodies, just like fats have.

What pisses me off most about this article is the whole, "but what if this gives girls eating disorders!?!!?" bullshit. You can't save everyone all the time. And stop making girls seem weak by saying words are going to cause them to gain mental disorders. You can't go around applauding fatties for saying they're beautiful and then bash thin people for stating the same thing. That's not body positivity; it's fat propaganda.

It also completely ignores the fact that eating disorders reach far deeper than "I wanna lose weight". They're legitimate mental disorders that are closely related to OCD and are driven by control.

And let's be real, these fat fucks complaining that they're "recovered from an ED" are full of shit. Going on a 1200 calorie diet for a week doesn't constitute an eating disorder.

Binge eating till you are morbidly obese does count as an eating disorder I imagine. Funny how they never bring that up.

I'm late to this post, but I just really had to say thank you for pointing out the assumption they're making by claiming a sentence can cause eating disorders. It's also completely ignoring the fact that most eating disorders are caused by mental issues first and foremost. I get so infuriated at this nonsense, ugh.

So it's okay to say "Fat and Fab" but not "Thin and Terrific"?

Seems equal and fair to me!
