Plus-Size Model Emme Urges Women To Protest Against Ralph Lauren

Emme, one of the largely recognized leading and highest earning plus-size model in the industry today, is urging women to speak out against the way Ralph Lauren is fraudulently presenting women in its advertising campaigns.


Emme's statement against Ralph Lauren is sparked out by the controversy surrounding the excessive digital alteration of Ralph Lauren model Filippa Hamilton and the following termination of her contract over alleged weight issue.

As a pioneer in plus-size modeling, Emme also had her share of unjust termination because of weight gain:

"As a model I was released from jobs for no apparent reason, just saying that they were moving on, and it was understood. I had to be thick skinned to deal with the industry."

Currently the host of Fox's reality dating series, More to Love, the 46 year-old model believes that the only way to change the trend of the fashion industry for favoring thin and digitally altered models is to make consumers speak up and take action:

"It's time for women to start uniting online and communicating about this, to really put their foot down. They are in the driver's seat, because they are the ones spending the money!"

Emme also calls on powerful design company to represent a more realistic image of the American woman in their advertising campaigns:

"Ralph Lauren needs to change the way he promotes the beautiful American family. He needs to use more diverse models, including plus size ones."
