Crystal Renn: Plus Size vs Thin Models – You Decide
As the fashion industry gears up for the January debut of V Magazine’s plus-size issue everyone’s talking about the photos that have already been leaked of plus-size model Crystal Renn. As seen in the photo above this is just one example of Crystal posing alongside Jacquelyn Jablonski, a ‘thin’ supermodel rather new in the modeling world but has already modeled for Calvin Klein Jeans and Proenza Schouler. The images were taken by fashion photographer Terry Richardson and they are the latest in a series of campaigns for designers and magazines to enlist models that represent a variety of shapes and sizes.
These days Crystal Renn is a staunch campaigner against identikit catwalk models as she almost died from an eating disorder when she was younger and just beginning in the modeling world. She said,
“I’d love to see [the fashion industry] open their eyes to the variety of women. That variety is what’s beautiful.”
She doesn’t feel that ALL models need to be a size 16 but the small clothing at the fashion shows don’t fit girls and that’s why they starve themselves in order to fit into the clothes. But if designers make larger dresses they will fit all kinds of sizes and can be pinned and altered if needed for the fashion shows. The new issue of V Magazine
