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.
