it's just that there was this article in the latimes criticizing haute couture because it doesn't design for the overweight; the main argument was 'don't fat ppl have money too?'
which misses the point entirely - high fashion isn't just business. there's a definite and major aesthetic aspect as well. proportions and anatomy and all that just shot to hell.
'the body must be immaculate.' -chanel head designer, lagerfeld.
maybe it makes me a prejudiced ass who's really full of himself but... i'll still stand by it.
