Ralph Lauren Fires Photo Shop Disaster Model For Being Fat

After being whittled to a toothpick, model Filippa Hamilton has been dropped by Ralph Lauren for being too fat.

The brand came under fire last month for photoshopping her picture past human recognition, making her head actually larger than her pelvis.

Standing at 5′ 10″ and weighing 120 lbs, she was too large for their sample sizes.

“They fired me because they said I was overweight and couldn’t fit in their clothes any more,” she said. She fits a US size 4 and a UK size 8.

Last month a retouched picture was hit the blogsphere causing controversy. Running with the tagline “Dude, her head’s bigger than her pelvis” Ralph Lauren initially asked the site to take it down before calling the image a mistake.

“I was shocked to see that super-skinny girl with my face. It’s very sad, I think, that Ralph Lauren could do something like that,” Hamilton said.

But the company also confirmed that it had ended its relationship with Hamilton “as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract”. A spokesman said: “Filippa Hamilton is a beautiful and healthy woman that we have worked closely with for over six years and we consider her an important part of our imaging and branding. We regret that our relationship has ended.”

The Times reported that Hamilton’s lawyer said “she had been let go because the company said that she did not fit into the sample sizes that it needed her to wear for photo shoots.”

The model had been working with the company since the age of 15.
