WTF!!!
This is so messed up.

British Vogue editor-in-chief Alexandra Shulman revealed in her editor’s letter in the January issue that it was difficult to procure clothing for Ashley Graham due to her not being a sample size. She said:
“The shoot was put together fairly last-minute and we are all very grateful to the people at Coach who, under the creative direction of Stuart Vevers, moved speedily to provide clothes for us that had to come from outside their sample range.”
Outside their sample range??? God forbid!
Alexandra continued:
“They were enthusiastic about dressing a woman who is not a standard model, but sadly there were other houses that flatly refused to lend us their clothes.”
Ugh. That angers us so much! How anyone can refuse to dress such a gorgeous woman is just beyond us.
Ashley has done so much good for the industry in trying to make it more inclusive, and this just feels like a slap in the face.
In the future, we hope more designers will be willing to step up to the plate and realize that dressing the supermodel is an absolute honor.
Thoughts???
