Brandy Melville uses size discrimination to sell
The Issue
Brandy Melville is a store that fails to sell all sizes which implies a discrimination on the basis of size. This can accelerate the propel the existence of the eating disorders for young teenage girls, which is the marketing demographic for this store. According to Mercury News, "Raksha Sen, a junior at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, shopped at Brandy Melville for the first time, she experienced a shocking disappointment upon returning home. After trying on the clothes, she realized that none of them fit.“You feel uncomfortable returning the clothes. When the cashier asks you why you’re returning them, you have to say that they’re too small for your body"(Gao).
