“My intrepid wife snapped this pic in a Gap store in London, where a dangerously emaciated mannequin was showing off the frankly named “Always Skinny” line. I’m wondering what the internal project name for this was at Gap HQ: “Death-camp chic”? “Ana Pride”? “Famine fashion forward”? In any event, you’re apparently not supposed to purvey the secret nature of Gap’s starving clothing displays outside of the shop, as a clerk gave my wife a savage ticking-off for snapping this shot.”
(via Gap’s Death-Camp Chic mannequins

First I was shocked…

And after I recovered, I was pissed. How is this acceptable?! Do they not care that they are encouraging harmful eating habits and poor self-esteem/self-image?

I am all for body pride but realistically, I’ve never seen legs this skinny on someone who did not have an eating disorder. I think it’s awful that they can market this as something common. Maybe I’m only seeing one side of it though.

This is unbelievable.

Oh my gosh…
