Model Edie Campbell was told she was "too fat" to open a runway show at Milan Fashion Week 2019.Campbell, who's modelled for brands including Chanel and Burberry and appeared on the cover of British Vogue, revealed on Instagram that she'd recently been subject to a contentious remark regarding her weight.
The British model shared a selfie of herself and artist Christabel Macgreevy on her Instagram story, showing the pair enjoying a hotel breakfast spread.
"When a brand says you are 'too big' to open their show so you get @christabitch round to have a slap up brekkie," Campbell wrote.
"By 'too big' I don't mean 'too famous'. I mean 'too fat'," she added in a second post.
On Thursday 21 February, Campbell was one of several models who took part in the late Karl Lagerfeld's last Fendi catwalk in Milan.
A day prior, the model had also walked the runway for Italian fashion label Alberta Ferretti.
Campbell was named "Model of the Year" at the 2013 British Fashion Awards, an accolade that was presented to her by fashion photographer and frequent collaborator Tim Walker.
The 28-year-old was also dubbed an "icon" within the fashion industry by models.com last year.
