no cigar, no nothing. You want revolutionary? Try dressing a zaftig middle-aged woman. Hell, try doing an entire collection and show with zaftig middle-aged women. Ground rules: no frump, no Chico’s, no mutton-dressed-as-fug.

Diversity, my…cheeks.

I agree Synnamin. This is STILL hardly representative of all women. But at least it’s a start. http://www.newsy.com/videos/fashion_s_new_line_up

This is their idea of “diversity”? Seriously?

For the fashion world, maybe it is, but… really??

They don’t get close or a cigar from me. This reminds me of those Baywatch episodes or the SyFy movies where the “homely” girl is a playboy bunny with somewhat nerdy glasses. These women are all very lovely, and I’m glad they are lovely, but this isn’t all bodies, and I’m not feeling generous today.

I’ll be more generous. There were appreciable differences, but not glaring ones. And we aren’t suddenly going to get everything — to continue your Jackie Robinson analogy, while there were three blacks playing for Major league ball clubs in 1947, it wasn’t until 1949 that any more joined their number, and it wasn’t until 19*5*9 that all teams had at least one black player.

So, I’ll say Acknowledge it as a small step.

I’m going to have to lean toward no cigar. Maybe an honorable mention?

I watched it before I read the rest of the post, and as I was watching I kept thinking, well, all of these women look the same to me. I kept looking for the Token Big Girl and couldn’t find one. Or the Token Odd-Looking Girl, although a lot of models look kind of odd to me anyway.

Anyway, they all looked tall, thin and gorgeous, even if they weren’t AS thin as the walking clothes-hangers in most shows. It’s a nod in the right direction, but not a step.
Sorry, forgot to add great post! Can’t wait to see your next post!
