"  Twitter user Michael Rudoy shared the above photo of a mannequin in lingerie brand La Perla&amp;#039;s Soho, New York, store over the weekend, captioned &amp;quot;how does La Perla think visible ribs on a mannequin is OK?&amp;quot; Along with a lot of outrage in 140 character bursts, a hashtag campaign, #NotBuyingIt, was soon growing. La Perla&amp;#039;s social media team soon apologized, and said in further tweets that an internal investigation was underway. Yesterday the brand released a statement, also via Twitter, confirming the mannequin had been removed, &amp;quot;and will not be used again by any La Perla boutique. We are in the process of redesigning all La Perla stores with a new concept image and the mannequins that are currently displayed in our U.S. stores will no longer be used.&amp;quot; They did not clarify whether the redesign would mean those ugly white sweatbands are also gone for good, but let&amp;#039;s hope so. h/t The Cut.
