Hudson’s Bay to pull ‘Nothing Taste As Good As Skinny Feels’ shirt
TORONTO – The Hudson’s Bay Co. is pulling a T-shirt from its stores after a backlash unfolded on social media tied to an eyebrow-raising message on the garment.
The T-shirt bears an infamous quote by British supermodel Kate Moss that says, “Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels.”
The quote is shown inside a mockup of a nutrition label with the calorie count listed as zero.
After igniting some criticism online, Hudson’s Bay tweeted from its official account that the T-shirt was being removed from stores and online immediately.
The Canadian-born designer of the T-shirt issued a statement on Tuesday in wake of the controversy.
Christopher Lee Sauve says allegations that the shirt is celebrating the severity of eating and body disorders “is just not the case.”
