Yes, this is a real ad that Ralph Lauren was using for their Fall campaign. And, no, this isn't a real image of a real woman. This is a digitally enhanced or should I say digitally emaciated picture of a woman that minus the hair and the outfit has the physique of an Auschwitz survivor or maybe a Serbian refugee.
A big thank you to Boingboing.net for calling out Ralph Lauren for this sick, sexist ad. For a minute, Ralph Lauren sent them this nasty we-may-sue-you legal letter but boingboing didn't cave. Instead they posted the letter and eventually got an apology from RL.
Haven't we had our fill of skinny? We get it. Gay fashionistas don't like curves. Even pubescent teen models aren't skinny enough for them. I so respect the German magazine Brigitte for ditching models for real women in ALL THEIR NEW ISSUES. Studies have shown that ads with real people sell more product than ads with supermodels. We seem to buy when we see real people. If it's not about the $, then it's a sad indictment on our culture.
And in case you want to see what this model really looks like in real life here she is (I bet this fucks with her head too...you're hired for an ad and then they photoshop away half of your body mass and you're a model!):
Oh my goodness, now THAT is
Oh my goodness, now THAT is ridiculous. Really? Who thought that shop job was a good idea?
Thank you!
I've been eager to know that there is a real person behind that grotesque image. This made my day.

i concur - this is a horrible photoshop job, let alone that it's just plain degrading... and stupid. The clothing doesn't even look marketable.
