Fatphobia In Fashion

Karl, who himself struggled with weight and body image issues over the years, was nevertheless a regular proponent of fatphobia in the fashion industry. In 2009, he called the idea of spotlighting diverse body types "absurd," claiming that fashion was about "dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women."

He also expressed his disdain by saying, "There are less than one percent of anorexic girls. But there are... over 30 percent of girls [who are] big, big, overweight."
