I have been moved to complain to Next about one of the models they have used in the Autumn/Winter catalogue (from page 2 onwards if you want to see). Now I know they use slender girls, but this one her knees are wider that her thighs Shock.

I have put it too them that this does not represent their customer base in the slightest and is almost taking things a step too far as far as thinness is concerned. I hope they do not see this as aspirational, and if they have airbrushed her to look like this, then shame on them.

This is not a debate on thinness/fatness, and I appreciate some women look like this naturally, but a tiny minority and I would expect a large retailer like Next to at least choose a model who was a bit closer to the norm? Or AIBU?

I don't agree that clothes look better on thin people - they look better on beautiful people
