I saw a photograph today showing male mannequins in a men's shop. The mannequins were all very overweight with huge bellies. The male mannequins were easily into the morbidly obese category.
With parts of the women's fashion industry catering for larger ladies also, with very rounded models, often morbidly obese, is this the way forward? Having slim mannequins shows off clothes beautifully and for most people, slim is healthier. But most women aren't tall and slender, many are short and round.
Are we normalising a growing trend of obesity or is this just reflecting reality? Will we become so used to the larger models that we accept our own increasing waistlines as normal.
