Not All Brits Look Like Kate Moss, And Debenhams's Know It




Bear hug to Debenham's, a British department store who's decided to feature size 16 mannequins in their windows. They're the first store in the country to do so, as well as the first to actually come to their senses and tap into customers' needs...and bodies. The average size of a British woman is 16, so one would think this wouldn't be such a revolutionary venture. Alas, stuck in a society where normal and healthy is considered unprofitable, the idea is a scary one for many (all?) retailers.

Nevertheless, props to Debenham's for keeping it real.
