Zero Tolerance for Size Zero



Got Curves?




Then Brigitte, Germany's top women's magazine, wants you!
"We are fed up with having to retouch pictures of underweight models who bear no resemblance to ordinary women," states Andreas Lebert, editor-in-chief. "We're looking for women [with normal figures] who have their own identity, whether it be the 18-year-old A-level student, the company chairwoman, the musician, or the footballer."
Could this be a trend?
  • Two years ago Spain introduced a law banning models who were "too thin" from catwalks.
  • British Vogue editor Alexandra Schulman recently appealed to major fashion houses to end the "size-zero" culture.
  • In September 2009, American Glamour magazine was applauded for publishing a picture of "plus size" model Lizzie Miller without airbrushing the image.

  • Bubbadah's Buys carries a wide selection of plus-sized clothing from Ellen Tracy, Ralph Lauren, Karen Kane, Eileen Fisher and other top designers so you can look well-dressed no matter what your size!
