Karlie Kloss too skinny for Victoria's Secret
So last week saw the annual Victoria's Secret spectacular. And from what I saw in pictures and video clips, it was amazing. However, I was a bit disappointed by the extremely skinny appearance of model Karlie Kloss. I love her, but I'm not sure she fits the image of Victoria's Secret. Yes, they do cater to all shapes and sizes, but she just looked skinny for my liking. I mean, even Chanel Iman put on 15 lbs for the show. I just think that designers in general have to carefully think about who they send down the runway. It's really not sending out a good message to other women, and even worst young girls everywhere. Anyway, you make up your mind for yourself, here are some pictures of Karlie at the show.

I agree, out of all the photos, hers' looked the most out of place. Victoria secrets are about healthy voluptuous bodies. I am ashamed at VS for choosing such a waif to represent their brand.
ReplyDeletei think she's super fit and smokin!!
ReplyDeleteKarlie Kloss looks absolutely horrendous. Really a bag of bones and such a shame that Victoria's Secret allowed her to walk the catwalk! Shameful!
ReplyDeleteShe is one of my favorite models, but definitely not fit for this show one bit! No one wants to look this way. She looks hungry
ReplyDeleteThose photos don't even capture some of the shocking images of her concave hips seen during the telecast. I was saddened and stunned they would not only choose her, but do an entire segment in her praise (claiming she is "perfection").
ReplyDeleteHer pelvic bones were clearly visible (not just the tops of the pelvis curving outward in a normal body shape, but they curved INWARD like on a skeleton's pelvis). Very sad to be broadcasting this image of obvious anorexia as an ideal.
I did like the way she moved though!!
Agreed. She is a beautiful girl, great runway model, but way too skinny for VS. She was very out of place with the other girls. Everytime it showed her, I just wanted to feed her something. The show made me want to go work out today, not to look like Karlie, but to get toned, healthy bods like adrianna's or alessandra's.
ReplyDeleteyou could see her ribs between her breasts..that's quite ridiculous. especially for a brand that claims they are far from such bodies. she is one of my favorite fashion models before i saw her in vic secret's show.
ReplyDeleteway too skinny period, not only for Victoria Secret...
ReplyDeleteShe absolutely should NOT have been allowed on the runway. When your hips are wider than your thighs you have a disorder. Her biceps were smaller than her shoulders. What a step back for the entire industry. "Angels" are slender, yes, but with a healthy shape. This was just really, really sad. GORGEOUS show but each of her appearances was a train wreak for me.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Karlie brought tears to my eyes when I saw how skinny she was. Even my eight year old daughter asked me if she was sick!
ReplyDeleteJust sad they let her go out like that.
I definitely agree. When I saw her, I was almost disgusted at how VS would allow her to come down the runway. VS models are supposed to look healthy, but fit and "hot"- she just looked anorexic!
ReplyDeleteI'm a model and honestly yes Karlie is very skinny and it is very odd for VS to have a girl who looks this way... but if you were to walk into a mall there are some girls who look just like this and they aren't starving themselves they just dont gain weight. She should not have been on VS fashion show but she could look a lot worse for being a run way model. and I'm not saying this cuz I'm tiny or anything like that... I just don't think we should be as harsh as we are on her, that's all/
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree she's amazing for runway and editorial ads but VS, no way! I was really shocked and bummed by their choice. I love VS and love that they promote healthy girls, this may change the way I feel about the brand.
ReplyDeleteVery upset with VS on this choice, almost disgustingly skinny. Calling her "perfection" definitely does not send out a good message for young women watching.
ReplyDeleteSHE'S NOT PERFECT FOR VS. She's WAY TOO MUCH SKINNY. And in the casting. How the hell they say that she's perfect? Are they blind. THEY'RE RUINING THE IMAGE OF VS BECAUSE OF THAT SKINNY KARLIE. She shouldn't come back again to VS. NEVER AGAIN. She should be banned.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if she's anorexic or not but everyone has seriously got to relax and stop criticizing her. Yes, she doesn't fit the "typical" VS model look. No, she is not going to ruin VS forever. Yes, she may set a bad example for young girls out there; but so does America for being the world's most OBESE country.
ReplyDeleteShe looks gross. Way too thin for anything. One day...I hope...someone will decide that women who model should not be 5'10" and weigh 110 pounds. They should not wear size 00 or 0 at that height. They should not measure 32-23-33...or even 34-25-36....it's severly underweight and a terrible thing to ask of women. Models are people too ya know. Eat something Karlie...please. You look ill, as do most of the super-skinny runway-type models.
ReplyDeleteewww, that's creepy...and really, not doing much for the clothes that she's modeling - doesn't make me want to buy them....isn't that what a model is supposed to do? To those who say she looks this way 'naturally' I emit a full blown raspberry.
ReplyDeleteShe looks anorexic, definitely not the type of model for Victoria's Secret.
ReplyDeleteI don't really think it's the fact that she's extremly thin, I think it's more about her body type. She's got that tall awkward body shape wich is more Vogue than VS to me. VS models are usually more "curvy" in the sense that they've got way bigger boobs and bottoms. I love Karlie and I think she's an absolutly amazing model but I don't think the Victoria's Secret runway belong to her.

DeleteI really like Karlie overall, but I agree that her figure in the 2011 fashion show is too skinny for this voluptuous, high fashion event. The Aquatic Angels outfit is stunning, but as I was watching the fashion show I was too distracted by her protruding breastbones to appreciate the fashion statement. Defined collarbones are one thing, but breastbones are not an acceptable statement for the VS image. I don't know how Victoria's Secret is supposed to tell a new model to gain weight for the show under the stress, but even making an effort to gain 5 lbs for the show would have made a difference. Boney skinny is not perfection... except perhaps for the anorexic community.
