'We've been worshipping the abnormally thin': AMANDA PLATELL shares her 'epiphany' about fat-shaming
Daily MailMy fat-shaming epiphany occurred earlier this week as I gazed at a picture of the actress Jennifer Coolidge. Women like Jennifer Coolidge are glorious' Plus-sized model Ashley Graham turned heads as she strolled down the runway for Dolce & Gabbana during Milan Fashion Week ‘Fat is not fabulous,’ I wrote in one of my columns. But fatties lack the willpower to stop eating.’ Or try this one: ‘Someone once said that inside every fat woman there is a thin one crying to get out. In the 1980s and 1990s every role model — Jerry Hall, Elle Macpherson, Kate Moss, crikey even Neighbours’ Kylie Minogue — were all slivers of womanhood. When labels, including Miu Miu and Tom Ford, regressed during last season’s shows, returning to stick-thin models on their catwalks — and Gucci shocked audiences with worryingly thin models in last week’s Autumn/Winter collections — today’s influencers rightly called them out, protesting they were hardly promoting diversity and fairness and the true range of women’s body shapes today.
