Many aren’t sure, but Yabroff believes that fashion gurus are noticing that sales are more likely to increase if real people see who they believe are other real people modeling clothing. From a psychological stand point when clothing is portrayed to be for skinnier people they only target skinny people. Yabroff’s thesis statement is easily identifiable and as a reader was strong yet simple enough to understand and grasp. Throughout Yabroff’s thesis she gets her point across with ease and gives several supporting details, that’ll persuade anyone into believing what is changing with the fashion industry.
