The intimate apparel store La Perla had window shoppers in New York wondering if they were marketing a swimsuit … or an eating disorder.
The bony mannequin, with ‘protruding’ ribs, put the lingerie store in hot water after someone posted a picture of it to social media.
The photo spread on twitter, where users called it “scary skinny” … “unacceptable” … and “irresponsible and harmful” for promoting an unhealthy body image.
According to Yahoo.com, “the Alliance for Eating Disorder Awareness tweeted that the mannequin was “terrible!” — and even some people in the fashion industry who are used to seeing wafer-thin figures wrote that the mannequin went too far.”
Shocked by La Perlas mannequins this is a terrible step back for body image.
