Wow. If anyone had any doubts that the fashion world hates fat people, this article should put them to rest: "Certain people have said, 'This is not our image,' " says Mr. Shoji.

It's no surprise that 99% of designers -- and arbiters of fashion -- hate anyone over size 8. Anyone who dares wear a double-digit size that has ventured into a high-end store or boutique can attest to that.
