At five feet ten inches and weighing 120 pounds, fashion model Filippa Hamilton can be considered perfect for her job. However, the model alleged that she got fired from fashion house Ralph Lauren earlier this year because she was considered “overweight.” This issue came out after the model revealed the allegations to the media.

In an interview, Hamilton said that she could no longer fit in the designer clothes being sent to her which prompted the executives to give her the boot.

Fuelling this issue was the emergence of a Ralph Lauren Blue Label advertisement in which she appeared to recently. The photo, which circulated online and was released in Japan, featured Hamilton in what is perceived to be heavily edited photograph.

The photo showed a really thin Hamilton wearing the designer clothes and lingerie.

Ralph Lauren maintained that they don’t have anything to do with the alteration but eventually admitted the allegations and released a statement of apology.
