Rebeca Fomich — a 19-year-old who stands at 5’9″ and has a 22-inch waist, according to her modeling agency — made the claim on TikTok, which was met with dismay.
“When a photographer told me I wasn’t skinny enough to book YSL [Yves St. Laurent],” the Brooklyn-based model wrote in a clip viewed nearly 132,000 times. “So many photographers are lovely and respectful but others are RUTHLESS like sir just stfu and take the photo.”
“Ur skinny enough,” commented one person, accompanied by crying emojis. “Sometimes they just want certain body types legit so stupid and they have no diversity whatsoever.”
