Many women demand that online retailers “do better” and source more plus-size models to demonstrate clothing without the need for accessories. Twitter user @karmaxkarmm went viral after sharing a snapshot of the website’s image on social media, writing, “SHEIN. Couldn’t find a plus-size model??????? What is THIS?”.
Sparks debate
The viral tweet, and was liked by more than 95,000 users, sparked a debate with thousands of people responding to the image.
“Shame Shein,” one person said, while another wrote, “Shame on you.” “This has to be fake,” someone tweeted, with a fourth adding: “Tell me this isn’t real.”
“I think it’s really sad when brands do things so badly. The number of plus size women who are still not allowed in the modelling industry and instead of using them @shein_official thinks it’s okay to do this.” another agreed.
Excess material
The screenshot shows a model posing in beige tights, but oddly enough, she has a large blue cistern bottle next to her that is covered in excess material.
Many people were confused by the online retailer’s actions, telling them they should look for more plus-size models to demonstrate clothes without the need for accessories like a water bottle.
The viral post has sparked a lot of debate on social media, and it’s fair to say the photo isn’t exactly popular.
