Marc Jacobs Samples Are Size Four and NOT Size Zero
Fact: most designer samples that are used on the runway shows range from size 2 to size 6 and not “size zero” as what the media likes to portray.
I took part at a magazine shoot (cover!!) in Singapore the other day. I saw this rack of Marc Jacobs original spring 2011 runway samples that were specially flown in from New York for the shoot and guess what — they’re all size four!
Click click click!
I am obsessed with dress. Stunning!
I sometimes find it comical whenever the media take potshots at this whole size zero debate. Yes, models are skinny, but they have to get some of their facts right.
They also need to take proportion into account. Most models are super tall, giving the illusion that their limbs are longer than what they are. I highly doubt the average model is a textbook size zero, given the sizes of their waists and hips etc.
oh, i certainly didn’t know this. thanks for sharing this piece of insider news.
the media…hmm..tsk tsk.
cheers,

This.
I sometimes find myself wearing 34 and sometimes a size 38 depending on the label, cut, etc. :)
I am not surprised. Since the Fashion Industry has been getting a bad rep about “anorexic models”.I am five feet and eight inches, wearing a size 6. Models are usually a 2 plus.
oh please.
the average woman is also not 5’11.
so what, you’re going to whine about tall women now?
it’s fashion, not the real world. people should realize this.

Having photographed a few models and worked in a fashion house (Lecoanet Hémant) in my young days, I can say that typically, model samples are provided in size 34 (French), 6 (UK) and 4 (US). Many models are not as skinny as some of those scary weight-obsessed celebrities. They are also taller (a woman who is nearly 6ft is an unlikely candidate for a size zero). Think about Carla Bruni who is reputedly 1m76 and 86-61-89cm(although I recall a composite in her early days when she was a 55 cm waist – I may be mistaken).
Interesting! Thanks for uncovering the truth for us. Only petite women like Eva Longoria can be called size 0, not tall models with a medium built, and especially not those with a broad back or slightly muscular arms.
you can put a size 10 if you want in your tag… the reality is that the number doesn’t matter; it’s the proportion of the clothes. Most women don’t fit in those sample sizes. Also, as william said; there is no standard sizing; if you are normally a 4 you go to a designer store and sometimes you have to pick a 6 or 8, it’s kind of devastating. If you happen to be curvier, then good luck on even finding designer clothes made with your size in mind. That is the problem; not the 0 tag.
wow, these are gorgeous, and size 4 it is, not everybody is skin and bones

Numbers don’t really mean anything considering there is no standard sizing that designers adhere to. The fact is, samples walk down the runway and have to fit proportionally tiny women (or girls.. ) so regardless of the number, the fit is not for the average woman.
