The Daily Mail put one of their reporters in a fat suit and a frumpy frock and sent her to London Fashion Week to see how people would react to her. Not surprisingly, she got loads of attention from the under weight over styled crowds in attendance... the negative kind. She was given looks, pointed at, laughed at and at the end of the day couldn't take another minute of feeling like "a circus freak" and had to leave.
Now, I'm not surprised by what she experienced at all. The fashion world has never pretended to have room for plus sized people. I'm more surprised by the Daily Mail feeling that they had to strap someone in a fat suit to get this story... actually, who am I kidding. I'm not surprised they did it at all.

I'm surprised with the reactions a lot. I really don't think people would be that mean.

they were probably staring at her thinking 'Why is that girl dressed in a fat suit?'

Of course the fashion industry is not going to react well to an overweight girl in ugly clothes. I would have liked to see this done with an overweight, well-dressed woman. Although I doubt the result would be positive, I think her garish outfit had a big part in this.
