Ralph Lauren Apologizes For Image of Emaciated Model

I take back that the image at the top of the page is real, i've learned it's not. still, the physical conditions models resort to it's terrible

hahaha that came out lookin a bit opposit of what it should... in correct dimentions this womean is skinnier than the one this artical is about

as messed up as this photo is, if ANYONE seriously looks at this body and truly believes that it's real, they're idiots.

Hahaha. I hope whoever photoshopped that was fired.

for all of you that htink this is fake.. get informed it's all too real

The model was fired for "being too fat".

Wow is that company messed up.

LOL!! That's messed up, is this the kind of body image we want to project to future generations?

this is proof that there is a culture of perfection that is damaging our youths through high expectations; and when they fail and become depressed- they starve themselves, buy diet plans, and waste money trying to look like that..

Pure marketing Evil.

What does Al Gore think?

Ewwwwwwwwwww! It looks like they put a head on a stick body. Oh wait... Scarecrow!

So obviously fake

Lauren's people re-touching photos to look like a Barbie Doll, not new.
The fashion industry has always pushed 'too thin' with their pics and shows.
It's what works! So they continue.
Shame that young females are influenced by the display.
How to change it? It has to start from inside the industry.
And no one group can change it alone. At least not quickly...
They need to design clothes for NORMAL people, not starved, reed thin models.
Is anyone listening? Someone of BIG influence needs to blaze the trail.......

Now that's a photoshop FAIL and a half, no one's that thin...

they obviously didn't expect us to think this was real...they're just playing with the technology... giving us a laugh...

fashion designers need to starve and let models eat

That's sick. Not beautiful at all

To all the haters on the model-- she's not that thin.

It was retouched so that she was thinner than possible.

Im happy this girl still has hair, most at this stage dont. Could be a wig?

She is so cute, I could just kill her. And put 10 of her in a trunk, not the 2 I have now ! (joke)

Way to encourage eight year old girls to starve themselves, Ralph Lauren.

Lauren was trying to be edgy. I mean, there is no way the editor could send that out without the intention of drawing publicity.

gahhh!! tell that woman to eat something!

It does sort of make for an interesting pic in a PSA sort of way

that's disgusting
