“Plus-Size” Models Walk the Runway at London Fashion Week
February 23, 2010 in Body Type and Clothes, Crystal Renn, Hot Models, Skinny Versus Curvy by Versus
Remember THIS STORY?
The same designer that was abandoned by some of his team for using bigger models last year is back – this time, Mark Fast used a bunch of (some call them “plus-size”, some call them “real-size”) non-skinny models during his show at 2010 London Fashion Week, who walked the runway together with the skinny, typical models.
As his representatives said before, the idea behind this initiative is to show that…
“We wanted women to know they didn’t have to be a size zero to wear a Mark Fast dress – curvier women can look even better in them.”
Hmm… I don’t really get their message when looking at these pictures. Facts are, these extra tight and stretchy, knitwear dresses in nude tones aren’t extremely flattering on these size 12 models. Even more, it looks like the dresses are a bit too tight (on the arms, bust) and the underwear / stockings they wear underneath are not the best choices either.
I bet that these size 12 girls could have looked really great in dresses with more structure or in any classic silhouette designs.
What are your thoughts?

: not to jump at conclusions when anaylzing someone’s weight – clothes and extra factors (colors, backgrounds, sunlight, posture and much more) are super relevant.
