Hey all, I noticed her thinness as well, but it was one of my favorite pieces from the line – you can (and should) check out the whole line. Unfortunately models are expected to be rail thin. It’s not a reflection on the designer’s views, I’m sure.

Okay you guys!
All I saw when I came across this designer was how great each piece was and I loved the designer’s haircut if you must know.
Other photos I received showed much more nourished women.
Sorry for this one.
I think it’s the camera lens stretching her a bit…she can’t possibly be that skinny.

Yeah, I agree with JeffConn. I barely noticed the clothing and was immediately disturbed by the ultra-skinny model. I mean, her thighs are as thin as her calves! What gives! I’d rather see this clothing on a healthy, curvy lady! Then we could get an idea what it really looks like on real world people.

I agree, making use of something like an LA County Jail t-shirt sounded a little strange at first but I also love what she’s doing and could see stocking it in my own store.
Like the story of it!
cheers!

I just have to say it: that is one UNHEALTHY model. Sheesh. Eat a meal today, will you?

I’ll admit, the idea was kind of off-putting at first, but her finished product is really amazing. I could completely see myself wearing some of those pieces, and I think her commitment to re-using what pretty much no one else would imagine using speaks to her creativity and her dedication.
