Moschino Pre-Fall 2010 Showing Very Thin Models
I've just seen the Moschino Pre-Fall 2010 collection and I have two things I really want to say about it:
First of all, the clothes are FANTABULOUS! Sleek without being minimal, feminine without being flowery...just my kind of clothes. Beige, black, red with a bit of gold--I am in love.
Buuuuut...while getting excited over the collection and going through the pictures I was shocked to see that they used models that are extremely thin and guant. I kept finding myself worrying more about the girls they used for the shoot than admiring the clothes.
I'm not one to bash anybody due to their size, whether it be a 00 or 60. I believe size acceptance means that everyBODY is ok as it is. But these girls look sick, starving and unhappy. Is that really the image that Moschino wants to project? I know they aren't a designer for plus size women, but I do expect them to be a "Plus Size" Designer and not a size minus 4 like the women here look.
Take a look for yourself. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue.

shoes on models
Submitted by Mary Ann (not verified) on Thu, 03/24/2011 - 08:11Yes the models are overly skinny. That is hardly worth a comment, even tho it's sad, for the girls & for their future bone structure/osteoporosis.
What truly bothers me is the extremely high shoes I see the girls at my college wearing to be fashionable. they can hardly walk in feminine manner- they have a kind of lurching gait- can I say it out loud? like a bride of Frankenstein lurch- I used to wear 4 inch heels and blew out my knees. 4 inches looks low by the current style trend.
I wish designers would have the courage to make shoes that allow us to move smoothly & safely, AND have some style! Maybe I should take up shoe design!!
