Why are naked females required to sell tshirts and trousers?
This designer also has male models but they all seem to be fully dressed Hmm

Trigger link contains female nudity*

That's convinced me to spend half my rent on a shit t-shirt. If it hadn't been for the clunge I'd have wasted ten quid down at Asda 🤔

i was looking for a fucking massive bikini and was shocked as hell to find myself on the JD Williams website looking at a woman whose stomach actually resembles mine (stomach muscles split during pregnancy and never joined back together properly at a guess). Now that was fucking edgy.

The concept is bad enough, but the prices... $165 for polyester trousers ShockHmm

FermatsTheorem · 29/07/2018 21:25

If the designer wanted genuinely edgy, she could have gone for a hairy foof and lopsided labia after childbirth. But no, those pics are the female equivalent, not of Barbie, but of Barbie's Ken.

have been on here so long any post that contains a link or picture thats not a tea towel will get shouts of there should have bean a trigger warning!! I am so triggered right now so I do it as a matter of course.

Fair enough, I'll give you that. People were complaining that a thread titled "should I kill this spider?" didn't have a trigger warning that it included a picture of a spider. Confused

LassWiADelicateAir · 29/07/2018 21:07

I wondered about that too- especially given how utterly non- salacious the photographs are.

CosmicCanary · 29/07/2018 21:05

Can I ask why female nudity requires a trigger warning???

I mean a "NSFW" might be fair enough, but who is triggered by a vulva?

I find that more offensive than the fugly ass clothes being sold by bald vaginas.

Vickyyyy · 29/07/2018 20:14

Ugh this is weird. AND all the clothes look hideous, especially the 'mens' stuff.

AnyFucker · 29/07/2018 20:06

Oh, how achingly cool

Yawn

FloralBunting · 29/07/2018 20:01

Does one of the models have a red cross on her bits? Or have I finally lost my marbles?

Melamin · 29/07/2018 19:20

doesn't that little hairless vulva look plasticky and weird?

Photoshopped out of existence.

That site is so much worse than I was expecting Confused the models all look utterly miserable (hangry?! Cold?!). If the men had their bollocks out I could consider it a statement but predictably it's the women only Hmm

Maybe we should give style & beauty a heads up? Grin

BettyFloop · 29/07/2018 17:37

What a complete crock of shite - in every sense.

TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt · 29/07/2018 14:07

That interview though! The woman talks nothing but absolute bollocks. This bit in particular, to explain the fanjos, is priceless:

"Why not? I find product shots stale and can even be confusing what product you are actually buying."

I mean, how many times have you tried to order a shirt from Boden and then a pair of pants turns up? It's just so confusing when the model is wearing more than one item of clothing. How do you know you're not ordering her hat or something? If I had a pound for every time...

TheGoldenWolfFleece · 29/07/2018 14:00

Id rather be naked than wear any of those clothes.

LassWiADelicateAir · 29/07/2018 13:54

Quite a lot of posters here bang on about gender neutral / unisex clothing which usually just means dull clothes like men's jeans. These are from previous collections and, I would say are genuinely gender neutral. I could even at a pinch imagine myself wearing the first one.

They look like a child has got bored halfway through dressing Barbie.

Yes!

LassWiADelicateAir · 29/07/2018 13:28

I like these trousers. They are more interesting than the usual boring trousers for women.

On the rest of it- no I am definitely not getting "a preschooler on the beach vibe" about it. The model looks nothing like a child. The photos are deliberately posed to be self aware but static, flat and lacking in emotion. They bear no resemblance to the natural , unself concious way a naked preschooler on a beach behaves or would look if caught in a photo.

I'm getting "a trying terribly hard to be outré" vibe but beyond that I'm not outraged by this.

Juells · 29/07/2018 13:25

Super-rich person playing at being all woke, I'm guessing. If she needed to make a living she wouldn't be selling that shite.

Juells Do you get hookworms with that?

SophoclesTheFox · 29/07/2018 13:18

Oh my.

So waxed vulvas are "clean" are they.
