For those of us who are not a size zero, sometimes it can be very difficult to flick through the glossy magazines looking at tiny, tiny girls wearing the high fashion we dream of.
Somehow it always looks better on the thin, and as soon as we try on the same outfit, it certainly doesn’t look how we imagined.
It is a huge problem in the fashion world and designers have walked out when they have been asked to use “plus” size models.
The word “plus” size annoys me, is a size 12-14 a “plus” size?
When Prada used Lara Stone as there new model she was, (shock, horror, and gasp) a size 8! they were given critical acclaim for stepping away from the zero ethics. Really! For a size 8! I then fell across an article that went out in the January issue of V magazine 2010.
Plus size models posing in a sexy and alluring photo shoot, in fashion labels such as Prada and Gucci!!!
It was a joy to see these beautiful women and I do mean women rather than girls, strutting their stuff in a glossy mag.
Women out there, who need more room for their thighs than skinny jeans the size of bamboo poles allow, rejoice! Revel in your curvaceous body!
For these images prove there are confidant and stunning curvy women, staring out of the magazine covers at us for a change.
I do love fashion and all the glossy mags, and I love to pour over the stunning shoots that promote the size zero problem. I also know that I am naive to wish for a more size aware fashion industry.
But sometimes it is nice to dream.........
