Brazil Criticized Karolina Kurkova For Being Too Fat?

After the death of a Brazilian model in 2006 because of anorexia, Brazil was one of the first countries to make a public outcry for the promotion of “too-thin” beauty standards in the fashion industry. So what is this buzz now about “too-fat” supermodel Karolina Kurkova?

The 24-year old, 5'11'' Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova made an appearance at the recent Sao Paulo Fashion Week. The catwalk queen was said to appear in a bikini, shockingly “chubby” and “with cellulite on her butt.” The Brazilian fans were said to be disappointed of her look because it was just so “unlike Karolina.”

Karolina Kurkova is a Victoria's Secret Angel best known for her “superfit” physique. She is also one of the highest paid models of the world, according to Forbes magazine.

And so it leads us to question the depth of the campaign against “too-thin” models in the fashion industry, especially in Brazil as it is one of the most active countries who support the cause. If models are being criticized for being too thin and anorexics, how come the media is slating the blond supermodel for her "back fat?”
