One Size Fits All – Another Win for the Curvy Girls

V magazine’s upcoming issue on newstands Jan. 14th, is the “size” issue, with spreads proving that being an average size can do all kinds of things for sexy.

See more photos at V magazine’s website, as well as previewed by models.com.

Crystal Renn is the plus-sized model featured in the spread and as reported by the Huffington Post: Renn told the AP in an interview, “I’d like to see everyone take on the attitude that there are women of all different shapes and sizes as ‘the beauty ideal,’ and that it’s not one type or another. There are women who are naturally a size 2–you can’t forget them, and that’s discrimination the other way. All women bring something different to the table and we have to appreciate them all.”

Brava, Win for the curvy girls

I applaud Mark Fast’s descisions to use full (read: average) figured models in a recent runway show a la that episode of Ugly Betty where they have a feel-good fashion show featuring the regular gals. I even appreciate the drama of two of his team quitting over the decision. If you look at the pictures at the bottom of the article with the slimmer models, they actually look less flattering in his designs which really seem at home hugging those curves.
