This makes some call the mannequins a hoax. However, it's not a hoax, the mannequins are real and they stand in a store, in Sweden, but it's not a H&M store.
These mannequins can be found in a Åhléns store in Malmö. Monica Hultgren is the company informant and she says:
"Our customers look different and that's why we use mannequins in different sizes. We sell much better with these mannequins in the store."

Åhléns sells clothes in all sizes and they needed mannequins that could carry the clothes.
Tina Rellos is proud of the curvy dolls.
- It is important to have mannequins that reflect all women. Every person looks different, and that is something you have the right to do.

H&M could learn from Åhléns but I doubt they will. They are simply too detached from reality.
