7. I think their point is to rebut the argument that a size 0 makes the clothes look better
by showing a real world example of someone who makes that dress look stunning and is not a size 0.

I don't mind the idea of a model being skinny, but I do wish there were a full spectrum of sizes to be seen in mainstream fashion modeling instead of that being the norm. In college I was really skinny and very healthy, and I hated people assuming I was anorexic or what have you just because I was incredibly active, so I don't hate skinny models at all, but I do wish we did not have such an obsession over it.

A far worse example to me is the photoshopped magazine cover. At least the models you see on the runway are real people who really look like that.
