You Too, Old Navy? Thigh Gap Strikes Again

Old NavyHere we go again. Old Navy is the latest target of Internet fury after a blogger noted that a mannequin on the brand’s plus-size section of its website looked as if its thighs had been unrealistically airbrushed.

The photo in question is of a pair of legs wearing Women’s Plus The Rockstar Mid-Rise Cropped Jeans. There’s a significant white spot carved out in between the thighs that makes them appear thinner than they might normally be on a person of that size. After Jezebel pointed out the thigh gap, an Old Navy rep sent the website the following statement:

"At Old Navy we strive to show our customers the most accurate representation of how product fits the body. This includes pinning garments on body forms to show how they will actually appear. While we do remove these pins in post-production, we do not use any photo-altering techniques to deliberately distort the actual look or fit of our product."
