- Who said size zero was out? Male model fired for eating croissant on Abercrombie & Fitch photo shoot

Watching his weight? Model Florian Van Bael was fired for eating a croissant
A male model has been fired for eating a croissant whilst on a photo shoot for trendy clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch. Belgian Florian Van Bael was told to leave the set when he was seen eating the pastry at what was considered to be an inappropriate moment. The models on the photo shoot were supposedly put under strict supervision with agents monitoring what they ate, what they drank and how much they worked out.
Van Bael, 20, appears to have broken one of these rules and was fired.
The case illustrates that it is not just female models who are subject to harsh restrictions when it comes to their weight. Fashion designers, including Victoria Beckham, have recently begun to shun‘size zero’ models and this year New York Fashion Week hosted its first‘plus size’ only fashion show. The 30 male and female models were being shot by photographer Bruce Weber and the Panoramic Hotel in Montauk, New York when Van Bael was sacked.
The models were supposedly working 13-hour days on the orders of advertising agency Shahid & Co and paid far below the normal rates for seven days’ work - $2,500 for women (£1,570) and $1,500for men (£940). They were also given a $13 (£ per day meal stipend but closely monitored on what they ate. Van Bael's agent appeared to side with the advertising agency and criticized her client.
She said: ‘I don't think it's a question about coffee or croissant, it's just a question of respect during an important job.’
Van Bael is a rising star in the world of modelling and this summer was named model of the week by models.com.
Along with Abercrombie & Fitch he has modelled for high-profile designers including Viktor & Rolf. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1317930/Male-model-fired-eating-croissant-Abercrombie--Fitch-shoot.html#ixzz11qx7miw2 | |

| Of course it’s ridiculous. I hope he wasn’t fired because they thought he was too fat to eat a croissant but because he was causing unrest among the other models because they were so hungry that they’re assholes were eating they’re underwear. You can’t spell “diet” without D-I-E.
The Diet Song by Shel Silverstein
Well, breakfast, black coffee One slice of dry toast No butter no jelly no jam Lunch, just some lettuce Two celery stalks No booze no potatoes no ham
Dinner, one chicken wing Broiled not fried No gravy no biscuits no pie
And this dietin' dietin' dietin' Dietin' sure is a rough way to die
So, pass me a carrot stick Peel me a prune One glass of skim milk and that's all
Turn off the TV for the Big Mac commercial It's drivin' me straight up the wall
I'm thinkin' of french fries Sausage and waffles Spaghetti and cookies and cake And each night I'm dreamin' Of chocolate ice cream and I'm starvin' to death when I wake All for your sake
Well, you're fixin' the kids All those cream mashed potatoes But it's bouillon and water for me And you got a lock on the refrigerator Lord knows where you're hidin' the key
And while I am starvin' for food late at night I'm starvin' for lovin' from you But you say that when I can see my own dick You'll be glad to look at it too
So supper, two pieces of cauliflower raw Some beef stick the size of a nail One slice of tomato, a small dab of slaw Lord, I swear I ate better in jail Stop eatin' that pizza right under my nose Girl that's the least you can do
And put down that candy bar While I'm singin' I'm starvin' my ass off for you...
And when I am dead with the insurance paid You'll look down at me and you'll grin You'll say, "Well, the boy tried, And he starved, and he died, But don't he look good when he's thin."

| Damn. Didn't know it got that real over a croissant. Shit, he skinny as hell anyway. He could've afford to eat that not be any consequence in regards to his weight/frame. I hope he sues their asses. | |

| It's to be expected from a store that targets 20 y/o Norwegian-looking types. | |

| That's disgusting! It's idiots like that ad agency that fuel the eating disorders that are so common. Kids hear stories like that and think they're too fat 'cause they see that guy, who looks really undernourished, and hear that he was fired for eating and they cut back. I certainly won't be supporting Abercrombie & Fitch and am tempted to write to them and give them a piece of my mind and thank them for contributing to the eating disorders that are so prevalent in the western world.. | |

| So ridiculous. What's eating a single croissant going to do? I wish people would get it in their heads that so long as they exercise, you can generally eat whatever you want (within reason.) | |

Well, that was the fuel for the headline right there. It is not stated that he was fired for eating or eating a carb. He was hired to do a job and apparently did not adhere to the specifications required. I am pretty sure all of this transcends him just eating a danish.
There are so many variables here. Did the agency know that he was at his lowest weight and that if he was eating carbs on a day one of a several day shoot that he may not fit the look by the end of the entire shoot? Maybe?
Also, was it at a time when he was about to go in front of the camera, and him having to brush his teeth or change back into shoot clothing would hamper the time frame? All that is big money and the statement "at an inappropriate time" makes me wonder what more there is to the story.
I am sure that Abercombie models are strung to a pretty tight contract with their representing agencies. So, he was dismissed.
I am not an advocate on how rail thin models are "needed" to be. But this story is very unclear exactly what happened. | |
