Sophia Bush Declares War on Urban Outfitter


One Tree Hill’s Sophia Bush is making news with her campaign against Urban Outfitters

Sophia Bush loved fashion as Brooke in “One Tree Hill,” but now she is speaking out against it. Urban Outfitter’s newest graphic tee states “Eat Less” across the front and strategically placed on a tiny model. Talk about revolting, who would buy this?
Bush decided to continue to promote healthy body images for women and boycott the entire fashion outlet. She also took some sexy pictures of her in a shirt that says “0 is not a size.”

She turned to her blog to discuss her issues with the “anorexia-promoting t-shirts.”

“You should issue a public apology, and make a hefty donation to a women’s organization that supports those stricken with eating disorders. I am sickened that anyone, on any board, in your gigantic company would have voted ‘yes’ on such a thing, let alone enough of you to manufacture an item with such a hurtful message. It’s like handing a suicidal person a loaded gun. You should know better.”

Whoa, go Sophia!

Although I love the store so much, something like this makes me want to think before I step foot into another store ever again. What is your opinion on this? Will you boycott Urban Outfitters?
