[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of the Athleta models make me cringe and not even want to consider their clothing.  I am all for "inclusive" but...[/quote]

You’re all for inclusive but you’re actually not?

I like being able to see what clothes will look like on a body like mine. [/quote]

I don’t. The older woman is gorgeous, but companies are using very overweight women and the clothes look horrible! I guess it’s helpful to see in advance that the clothes will look crappy on fat people…but is it helping sales? Probably not. [/quote]

+1.  Clothes look awful on the overweight models. I take one look and I don’t even want to consider those tights or the shirts. I’m not skinny either but just average.  [/quote]

I'm just average, but I far prefer using a variety of models and body types. It helps me see the item on a variety of bodies. I remember when I was a teen and compared myself to models in ads and constantly felt inferior. I'm so glad for brands that show a variety of body types, especially as a parent of two young children who will grow up seeing more variety in marketing than I did. [/quote]

I'm 5'7" and size 8, so pretty average. I wish they'd use some "medium" sized models! Always size  XS, Sm, or XL when they have "variety". What about us middle people?![/quote]

I completely agree. When target started with the enormous models I figured I was in the wrong department. It certainly doesn't help me decide what will look good on my 5'3" 125 lbs when all the models are either tall and lanky or 200+ lbs. [/quote]
