“I have been shocked to see the tiny mannequins in women's and particularly teens clothing stores. Walking through the Friary in Guildford I was literally stopped in my tracks by the TopShop window. The mannequins were skeletally thin, and I was so distressed that I went in to the store and spoke to the manager. She said I was not the first to complain and she too found it distressing, but was quick to impress upon me that their mannequins were no smaller than those in other high street shops. She may have a point, but the way the TopShop mannequins were styled with short skirts, long over the knee socks, and their posture, slumped shoulders, toes turned in made them look even more like under weight children. I said as a parent of a teenage daughter I would discourage her from shopping there until they addressed their policy of encouraging a dangerously low body weight in young women via their window displays. It really saddens me to thing that young women may walk past that window and think either consciously or subconsciously "I should look like that." I do feel the stores have a huge responsibility not to actively promote an unhealthy body images, but that consumers too need to vote with their purse and not use these stores. Sadly 'money talks' and often louder than the voice of reason.”
