This is totally normal in the fashion industry; all brands want to be associated with "the beautiful people" (thin girls, tall men). Go to any of the swish boutique stores around Union square, and good luck finding any women's clothes over size 10. Or any men's pants with an inseam under 32".
To state the obvious, the model in the link is a healthy, attractive young lady. There's nothing wrong with her.
She's beautiful! My wife looks something like that but she works out (at the gym now), eats right, and is much more athletic and thin, even after three kids. This girl could drop about 30 pounds and be a real stunner. I'd recommend a whole foods diet with plenty of fish and a gym membership.
Nothing wrong with her that a little heroin, cocaine and cigarettes can't cure, to make her look like the skeletal remains of an emaciated boy and give her that metrosexual flair.
This young woman is a size 14, which in modeling terms is grossly obese and certainly not worthy. However, she is a beautiful girl with a normal body and I wish that there were more of these "plus-size" models for our young women to emulate:

But then, there's Abercrombie & Fitch whose CEO in 2006 said, "A lot of people don't belong (in our clothes) and can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely!" This was a reference to the company's snobbiness & refusing to sell XL or larger clothing. So a film maker made a viral video, where he went to thrift stores & bought up A&F apparel to clothe the homeless.

Granted, he is (somewhat) demeaning & using the homeless to make a point, but on the other hand, he is clothing them. He also displays a photo of the rather unattractive (fairly bizarre in appearance) CEO of A&F and says, ""Their CEO insists on only hiring attractive people, which is ironic because their CEO looks like this.â€
the interwebs are awesome!
