1. [+1,207, -83] The fashion world prefers stick skinny sizes like 33 and 44, which is unrealistic. You have to starve yourself to be that skinny. Most of the runway models suffer from hair loss and unstable periods. A 66 size is average but designers refuse to believe that.
2. [+705, -25] Clothes are meant to be fit for humans but we live in a generation where humans fit themselves into clothes
3. [+43, -2] Designers should be selling clothes that look good on all body types. Clothes that only look good on stick skinny body types can't be called a good design, can it? It only looks good because of the body that it's on. Designers should quit if they can't design outside of that frame.
4. [+41, -8] Since when was size 66 considered fat??? Size 44 is considered child size ㅋㅋㅋㅋ and 55 is stick skinny ㅋㅋㅋ 66 is a totally average size ㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+25, -5] I looked her up to see how fat she was but ??????????????? if she's considered too fat to wear designer dresses, then I'd like to see the body types of these so called designers
6. [+22, -3] Wait, 66 is considered fat? Dammit...
7. [+19, -1] Hul, 66 is fat? I've never once thought of Rexa as fat whenever I saw her. The designers must be crazy.
8. [+16, -4] Are there no fat designers then?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
9. [+12, -3] I don't think it's just her size ㅋㅋ because people like Beyonce, Britney, Kesha, etc are probably 66 to 88 but get sponsored dresses just fine ㅋㅋ as small as the industry is, you need to watch your mouth.
10. [+12, -0] She took a picture with V at the Billboards, right? She's super pretty.
11. [+8, -1] American unnis have thicker bones and are taller than Asian unnis so if she's considered a 66, she's quite skinny, isn't she? The entire fashion world needs a wake up call. Even the designers themselves aren't as thin as their designs. Trends need to change to focus on healthy, toned models.
