Just like Acrombie & Fitch here. I been to their stores and it is “pretty people”. No fugly fat types or anything. You won’t see a homely or fat person there.

An Islamist sued Acrombie & Fitch because they wouldn’t let her wear her headscarf, etc. that she says are required of her faith.

I guess working for a clothing store decorated with nude models is not against her faith...

I used to do computer work for an 'upper scale' women's jeans maker.

They used to have periodic sales to their associates - seconds and that sort of thing. The prices sounded good so I made a comment to my coworker that she should go and take advantage of the sale.

She said "I can't, they don't make clothes in my size." I expressed some surprise - she was what I'd call an "average-sized" woman.....not big, not small, just....normal. So I went to see what she was talking about.

Company makes sizes 0,1,2 and 3. Nothing else. Skinny is their "image" and they don't want fat - or even regular - people in their jeans.

'Twas an eyeopener for me, as before I'd just go grab a pair of Wranglers off the shelf. Didn't really think of a customer base buying an "image", just buying something that they liked and fit correctly.
