Apologies for the low resolution. It was a mobile ad and all I could get was a screenshot.
Who are they advertising to? Emaciated cross dressing men with bad haircuts?
And they’re advertising sacks to them?!
You cannot tell me that dude (duddette?) doesn’t have an eating disorder. That looks sickly and horrible.
I am extremely skinny and look unhealthy and kinda similar to the model in that way, even though I eat normally and I think even very healthy. My dad looks like that too. Being 2 meters tall also doesn’t exactly help. Just saying that you shouldn’t judge people so easily and you can hurt someone also pretty easily. Some people just have being fat or skinny in their genes.
Absolutely right. I would not judge you if I saw you at the supermarket. But this dude is the face of a fashion and beauty brand. They are pushing this body type (rarely occurs naturally in healthy folks like you) and mostly occurs on people with health problems. In a way they are pushing a non healthy image to many people that are not like you. I would even dare to say you are a very minuscule porcentage of people with this body type that are 100% healthy so this is being pushed to folks that have lovehandles and now they hate themselves.
Yeah, given that people have different body types, making any type the good one or worse, the right one is just wrong, and beauty business plays a big role in the problem.
Thank you. There’s apparently been a fine line between promoting body acceptance and shitting on thin body types. Some people seem to think it’s not even a natural body type at all and anyone who’s thin is just anorexic. It’s like we’ve been completely left out of the equation unless we’re being looked down on. Yeah, I’m right there with you on this.

Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. I think it’s a bit distasteful to armchair diagnose someone you don’t know, though
It’s also distasteful to encourage eating disorders to enter the modelling industry by exclusively featuring models that are extremely underweight, but I guess who are we to judge…
I used to look like that from ages 15 to 30. I was eating 6000 calories a day to maintain my weight. I don’t know about that dude (dude is gender neutral), but it is possible they are struggling to not lose weight. Unlikely, but possible.
You’re either lying on the Internet (impossible!) or you had some serious disease that you failed to mention in your comment. Mitchell Hooper, weighing around 140 kg, was eating around 5500 kcal when he won worlds strongest man.
No illness. Just unlucky. Why would use use a world class body builder, literally the most exceptional human to ever exist as your point of comparison? That’s like saying anyone could play Conan the Barbarian if they just toned up a little.
No, you’re missing the point. Point is that even 500kcal less than your claimed daily intake will put into a 100++kg body weight, even if you’re an elite athlete.
Unless you eat like Askeladden, there is absolutely zero chance you were eating anywhere close to 6000kcal a day if you didn’t have medical condition that tampered with your intake.
Don’t spread misinformation, especially about a topic that is already so heavily mired with it.
Except I was and I did. It’s not misinformation. It’s experience. But thanks for trying to invalidate 15 years of my life with zero information other than a basic understanding of calories and not figuring in any other metabolic factors.
So you don’t know how to count calories. Just say that.
Except I did. If I got behind I would lose pounds.
The guy doesn’t look much better, just drowned in a suit
Looking at other photos though Prada seem to prefer models this skinny
Is Prada trying to bring back the baggy suit look? Please no, it was horrible.
Looks anorexic to me. Hope they are fine
I looked a lot like that as a teenager while going through some growth spurts. I ate like an elephant (1990s taco tuesdays at Taco Bell we’d each get a 12 pack after school), but I was still 150-160 at 6’3” (60 something kilos and 190something cm).
This person might be a little lighter, but I couldn’t put on muscle to save my life back then. Not till I was in my 20s did I get above 170.
Edit: forgot how to divide by 2.2…
but I was still 150-160 at 6’3” (30something kilos and 190something cm).
150-160 lbs is definitely not “30 something kilos”. It’s more than double that, around 70 kg. Just FYI or for any other weird-unit users out there who aren’t familiar with standard kg. 😅
When I read 190cm and 30kg, I was kinda shocked
That would look like a skeleton, I’m pretty sure. 😅
In High School I was a 5’9" burly 165 lbs dude I was doing like 25 pullups on door frames, but after that life kind of went sideways and I lost the weight and strength and I’ve never been back to that weight again.
I did continue to grow to 5’11" tho so thats a consolation prize.
This isn’t mild.
Jesus fuck this is literally starvation
Hope there is a double cheeseburger in that purse…is this a starving child in Africa or something? I’ll fuck with em on a big Mac combo, poor lil fella 😔
The fashion industry is simply saving money on fabrics by using smaller, thinner models that don’t require as much material to clothe.
i look like this. my bmi is like 13.7. i suspect i have thyroid problems
Not when you don’t see ads
I’m not sure what they’re going for here but about 100 years of marketing data has proven that clothing sells better on tall skinny pretty people.
I legitimately thought this was a joke, at first. Like taking some internet meme I’m unfamiliar with and putting it in an ad for Prada.
Interesting haircut (if you can call that a haircut)
The ad aside, I just don’t understand the appeal of paying $3,000 for a handbag when a $20 handbag will can do just the same thing. The only thing I can think of is people think they look cool or rich or better if they have a Prada handbag, but frankly, who gives a shit what kind of bag someone has? And second of all, if I saw you with one I wouldn’t think you are cool at all. I would think you’re the dumbest person alive.
While it’s true that you hit a point of diminishing returns, there’s a sharp divide between, say, a $200 bag and a $20 bag. Technically a plastic shopping bag will serve the same purpose as a purse, but it’s likely to break in less than a day. A $20 bag might last a few months of daily use if you’re careful, but it’s going to have cheap/non-durable materials, have cheap findings, and be poorly made. At $200, the odds are pretty high that it’s going to be well made, use solid materials that will last, and have fittings that aren’t going to corrode, fall off, or break in a few months.
I have a designer wallet that I’ve used every day for over 15 years, and while it looks beat up, it’s still fully intact. I averaged about one every 3-4 years before I got this one.

Yuck.
Gender doesn’t matter (and can’t be determined) this is ugly thin and ugly haircut to the extreme.
Weight aside, that haircut is atrocious.
