![]() We know the quotes within the collaboration were shocking, which was entirely the point. We work hard to make the right choices every day, understanding the platform and the opportunity that we are lucky enough to have, and we are so sorry to have let you all down. I cannot apologize enough to my good friend Lena, and others, to all of LPA’s fans. We were planning to launch with an image of Lena in the sweatshirt along with our statement and explanation. Where we faltered was not intention, sincerity or conception, but in my own lack of communication that lead to how the collection was portrayed on and the pre-mature release of the e-commerce imagery, a day prior to launch. We were proud of our final product, the conversation it would start and – most importantly – the direct effect it would have on such an impactful charity in “Girls Write Now”. We coordinated each aspect of the collection itself, to the chosen quotes to the design. ![]() ![]() We at LPA were so honored when Lena Dunham agreed to work with us on this capsule collection and, most importantly, thrilled at the exposure our work would give to such a serious issue. What was conceived as a statement on today’s internet culture and its treatment of women has gone terribly wrong. Here’s what LPA had to say about the sweatshirt line and the real message they were trying to send. The line of sweatshirts were intended for good but once Revolve got involved things went left. If you’re not familiar with Paloma, she is considered a curvy model and has done campaigns with Nike and she was featured on Vogue. Lena Dunham teamed up with model Paloma Elsesser to create the line of sweatshirts. The offensive quotes were supposed to highlight the type of comments internet trolls say to women everyday. The fat phobic sweatshirt is part of a line of sweatshirts that presented other offensive quotes. So, here’s how this fat phobic controversial sweatshirt campaign came about. What kind of message does this really send? The bigger question was who on the marketing team of Revolve and LPA thought that this was okay? Well, after receiving an innumerous amount of backlash on social media LPA, Revolve, and (gasp) Lena Dunham have all spoken out about the controversy. When I saw it, it immediately made me upset because the level of disrespect fat people receive is out of this world. I first heard about this foolishness from plus size model Felicity Hayward. The sweatshirt was created by a brand called LPA and was being sold for $168. Of all the quotes to put on a sweater, this is what they chose. Today, they are being called out for a sweater they were selling on their site that said, “Being fat is not beautiful its an excuse.” Revolve Fat Shaming Sweatshirt Controversy Earlier this year they were blasted for their lack of diversity when it comes to working with influencers. Yesterday Revolve was in another scandal. However, I do think its important to speak up about fat shaming and how wrong it is. I don’t think its right to give attention to something so rude and disrespectful. Sometimes I struggle with writing about fat shaming clothing brands.
