London\'s H&M stores under fire for using thin model

The model as seen in the ad H&M boutique on the High Street in London is being slammed for using a model so thin and gaunt that she\'s being called \"corpse-like.\" The model was used in PR material for the clothing giant\'s Marni campaign, the latest high profile designer collaboration to be launched by the firm. But some have complained that 26-year-old Aymeline Valade looks “ready to collapse”.
In the photographs, Aymeline wears a three-quarter-length sleeve jacket and pencil skirt which highlight her slender wrists and waist. Some observers have criticized the choice of styling and make up for the model, saying that her pale complexion, hollowed cheeks, dark eyes and unkempt hair make her look yet more unhealthy.
When approached on the matter, H&M defended their position, saying that they do not work with \'significantly underweight\' models.
