All tag results for 'hanging'

This is so sad!

An English Coroner slammed the fashion industry and magazines in the inquest into the death of a 14 year old from Somerset, England.

Last year Fiona Geraghty was found dead in her room of an apparent suicide by hanging after struggling with an eating disorder, which her parents believe was the direct result of being bullied.

Coroner Michael Rose listed the cause of death as "misadventure", but rather than pointing the finger at the so-called "mean girls" he flat out blamed the fashion industry's constant use of waif thin models.

Last week we shared with our Coco-licious readers a questionable Alexander McQueen window display at the Selfridges department store located in Manchester.

Since we posted this picture, Selfridges has issued a semi-apology on their Twitter:

We apologise for any offence caused. It was not intentional and the dress has been removed.

While it's not the most professional apology, at least it's something.

Hopefully next time they'll actually put some thought into their displays!

Selfridges in Manchester really needs to re-think their Alexander McQueen window display.

Did they forget that he committed suicide by hanging himself!?

Too soon. Way too soon.

Thoughts???
