How Body Image Affects Women’s Health For Real AOC Body

Karl Lagerfeld’s infamous mouth is again on the attack against ‘rounded’ women. The Chanel cr4ative director, 80, who was pretty darn round himself just 10 years ago is accused of defamation by the women’s pressure group Belle, Ronde, Sexy et je m’assume (Beautiful, Rounded, Sexy and fine with it).

The suit relates to Lagerfeld’s comments on Le Grand 8 French television channel D8 on October 4. The Kaiser said: “The hole in social security, it’s also (due to) all the diseases caught by people who are too fat.” Lagerfeld then restated his view about larger models, saying “no one wants to see curvy women on the runway”.

Lagerfeld’s comments were also made in his book ‘The World According To Karl’, where he writes that “it’s the fat women sitting in front of televisions with their pack of crisps who say slim models are hideous”.

“We’re fed up,” Betty Aubriere, the group’s president, told AFP. “Many young girls are insecure and hearing such comments is terrible for them,” particularly from famous people. “Today it’s him who insults us and tomorrow who will it be?”

Note that Aubriere’s group is not seeking financial damages but rather public dialogue with Lagerfeld.

AOC has a long history of writing about weight, body image, the fashion industry and women’s health. As the former fashion director of Victoria’s Secret, Anne has lived through the downsizing of the 90s supermodels like Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and other star power girls. Anne’s perspective is grounded in the inquiry of why sexy 90s models, who averaged sizes 4-6, were downsized to a size 0. No one in the fashion industry has ever offered an answer, except to speculate that these models were too popular and powerful.
