Filippa Hamilton fired from Ralph Lauren
Have you all seen this? It was plastered all over news pages. She claims she was fired for no longer fitting into Ralph Lauren’s sample sizes (she’s a size 4, hardly a cow). Ralph Lauren’s reps are saying she was fired for not meeting her contractual obligations, which could mean just about anything. Considering they got into a crapload of trouble for Photoshopping her to the point of cartoonish proportions, Ralph Lauren’s argument doesn’t look too strong.
Hamilton’s modeled for the company for 8 years, since she was 15. I can’t imagine what suddenly triggered a firing, other than her age or her apparently increased size.

wow i cant believe it! yeah i read this too, she was beautiful. The media is really good at making people believe they aren’t good enough. It makes me sick. This poor girl, I bet another designer brand snatched her up, shes gorgeous.

There’s NO WAY that Photoshopped pic was an actual ad for Ralph Lauren. I think someone went back and did extra ‘tweaking’…I mean, has anyone actually SEEN that photograph anywhere? What editor would ever let that pass? It’s just ridiculous…
