Donatella Versace has refused to use real women in a Versace for H&M photoshoot.


I read an article today regarding criticism to Donatella Versace, the well known brand designer, for refusing to use real women models for her new fashion line. I'm not surprise at all; most designers in the world still have not changed their minds on making their clothes targeting slim young girls: First of all, young girls' bodies are thin and mostly come in one flat shape; easy to fit and therefore will create a good reputation for them; secondly, it costs less fabric and will bring more profits for those designers and lastly, the young thin models will create good images in their designed clothes.

"This is so typical of 99.9 per cent of designers: they only want their clothes worn by the very young and the very thin," said Liz Jones from the Daily Mail

In my opinion, women in our society, who come in different shapes and sizes, all deserve to make themselves look beautiful and they would, by wearing clothes which suit them. For my swimwear line, I've been very happy to use real women models and I was lucky to find them.
