Outrage at Beckham’s skinny model

Victoria Beckham Eyewear has come in for fierce criticism, the likes Piers Morgan are outraged after the brand posted promotional pictures of thin models that Morgan described as ‘emaciated’.

Beckham posted the photos from the campaign on social media with the caption: ‘Back to work! Start the year with new frames from the Spring Summer 2018 #VBEyewear collection inspired by 1970s retro classics and updated for a feathery-light, fresh and modern look. Available at victoriabeckham.com and 36 Dover Street, London, now.’

Writing for the Mail Online, Morgan said he was rendered dumbstruck in horror at the sight of the shockingly underweight model Victoria Beckham had chosen for the photos. ‘Frankly, the model, a 29-year-old Lithuanian woman named Giedre Dukauskaite, looked ill. She wasn’t just slim, or “skinny” – she was emaciated.’
