UK Daily Mail ^ | March 9, 2012 | Deborah Arthurs

High Street store H&M has come under fire today for its use of a model some have said is so thin as to be 'corpse-like'.

The model was used in PR material for the clothing giant's Marni campaign, the latest high profile designer collaboration to be launched by the firm.

But some have complained that 26-year-old Aymeline Valade looks 'ready to collapse'.

This may sound insensitive but I have had relatives die after a long bout with cancer... who had more weight on them than this model. I personally don’t know one man (or woman for that matter) that finds the emaciated look as anything but sick/sad. IMHO.

That outfit is hideous and cheap looking. The model has a very unhealthy appearance, and also seems at least ten years older than the 26 she claims.

I’m a great fan of thin (Think Gabrielle Anwar), but this woman doesn’t look at all attractive.

She WILL be corpse-like, as in dead, sooner than later.

The anexoric-bulimic lifestyle of skinny models takes a huge toll on their cardiac muscles and eventually they have heart attacks and die.

Gabrielle Anwar is RIPPED! She's gotta be 2% body fat, and that's all in her chest. I have a female cousin, Air Force vet, whose body fat is so low that they couldn't measure it, but she'd beat the living Hell out of anyone!

Matter of fact, funny story, she's going to be one my fiancée's bridesmaids. When they went to get measured for dresses, the tailor was flabbergasted when they measured her all around as a size 0... except her hips, which put her in a size 8! She's not emaciated at all, just blessed with child-bearing hips.

This model needs to go here:

Either that, or a publicity stunt. Or both.

It’s indefensible, regardless.

A 5:06 “Fran” and a 5.56 rifle. That’s one bad chick.
