Fillipina Hamilton has lost her job. She was a model for years for Ralph lauren. He decided he didn’t like the way she looked anymore so ordered her photos Photoshopped. Hence we see her in weird poses and looks as if her body is contorted. He comment was “they said I was fat.” So technology has its drawbacks for sure.
Now my question is can she sue them? If people who are obese can claim discrimination, why can’t she? While these women look okay, and notice that I did not say healthy, or even good, they are not people I want my grandchildren to seek to imitate. At some point we need to really take the bull by the horns and say enough of your sadomachism (Ralph Lauren) let these young girls look like young girls and clothe them appropriately, but healthy.
The fashion industry has for years been insane and promoted unhealthy looks toward our youth. No wonder so many of our children face insecurities we can’t even fathom these days. It is everywhere, but always at the front of fashion. As parents we need to make sure we put positive images in front of our children.
I always turn my head to approve of a woman who has some curves. That is classic beauty at its best, and makes her more interesting. Photoshop can also make a persons face look thinner, and take out the famous red eyes for you as well. Too bad Ralph Lauren took the low road . Wonder what else he has done with technology in the past?, Oh that’s right there are some things you can’t fake.
