    So what is the Prada look?

    Women's rights groups have staged a noisy protest outside Prada's store in Tsim Sha Tsui accusing the Italian fashion house of sexual discrimination. They also called on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to block the firm's share listing, one day before it's due to start trading in Hong Kong.

    Around two dozen activists protested over the case of Rina Bovrisse, a former Prada manager in Japan, who claimed she was unfairly fired after being told by a company executive she was ugly and didn't have "the Prada look".

    How does someone being ugly be sexual discrimination?

    Anyway it's a luxury fashion brand that requires pretty people to sell pretty things. Nothing wrong with having people that bestow the brand values.

    Well intended but these ladies are only creating more publicity in favor of the brand.

    It only says discrimination, not sexual. where's your mind randy?

    as OP ask, what is the look?

    and you don't really think is okay to hire/fire based on physical appearance, do you?

    You guys really don't get it do you. The look is subject to whomever they feel is not right.

    I would discriminate on appearance easily. If they do not fit the criteria they don't come back for another interview.

    The article does say sexual discrimination.

    But why was she hired in the first place if she didn't fit the look? Surely she didn't turn ugly overnight.

    I'd also like to know what the Prada look is
