Fashion faux pas?

Jean Paul Gaultier pushed comfort levels at Paris Fashion week. In an attempt to stand up again unhealthy body standards in the industry.

"Jean-Paul wanted to show beauty can be universal," said a spokesperson for the fashion house."He thinks all women are beautiful and aims to challenge society's beauty stereotypes."

This bold move comes right after designers in Madrid refused to send wafer thin models down the runway in their past fashion week.

Now, I don't think we should descriminate against anyone. Even the 97 pound models. This woman was hired just to make a statement, by one designer who feels she will make him look accepting and universal. Mabey there was someone only 20 pounds overweight that was much better but didn't hold as much shock value, would she has been cast? I doubt it. I would love to see if Gaultier sold clothes that are over a size 12. Can this woman walk into one of his boutiques and buy something off the rack? Again, doubtfull. If someone over size 14 wanted to buy this god awfull outfit where would they purchase it? Or was this just a one time creation just for this stunt? I'm guessing we can file this outfit with this moment in fashion history under never gonna happen.Untill designers start catering to the plus sized woman with actual merchandise, they should leave the runway antics to the PETA protesters.
