Model Iskra Lawrence Defends Nike’s Plus-Sized Mannequin
Body-positive model Iskra Lawrence speaks out against fatphobia surrounding Nike’s plus-sized mannequin.
Recently, The Telegraph posted a fatphobic and offensive article about Nike’s new plus-sized mannequin. This mannequin was used to promote Nike’s plus-sized activewear.
Tanya Gold: ‘The new mannequin is obese, and she is not readying herself for a run in her shiny Nike gear. She cannot run. She is, more likely, pre-diabetic and on her way to a hip replacement. What terrible cynicism is this on the part of #Nike?’ https://t.co/51VmvUCxLE
