Skinny VS Curvy

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.

That’s right – let’s find out the details from Us Weekly:

They’re both multi-tasking moms and wives, fashion icons, and pop music veterans, but Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez share one more thing in common, believe it or not: dress sizes!

Although Lopez as is famous for her curves as Beckham is for her rail-thin frame, Beckham tells 10 magazine (via The Cut) that they actually fit into the same dresses.

Discussing her fashion line to the magazine, Beckham, 34, says, “My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore.”

Posh herself sounds as surprised as anyone, adding, “Who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!”

The British star doesn’t note what that exact dress size is.

Even with three sons underfoot, Beckham has said frequently that she still hits the gym seven days a week. “I run so quick after a double espresso, my [sneakers] are on fire! They have sparks!” she says.

Ryan Seacrest, who worked alongside Beckham when she was a guest judge on American Idol, observed that she eats “perfectly… [she says], ‘I’m getting the steamed this, the steamed that.’”

This is a first! And I like it!

V Magazine decided to feature in their upcoming (and probably controversial) issue dedicated to plus-size and ALL-size beauties 2 models: one typically skinny, one voluptuously plus-size…  and their wearing identical outfits.

The names of the models? Jacquelyn Jablonski and Crystal Renn! The editorial is named “One Size Fits All” and it’s shot by photographer Terry Richardson.

P.S.:  A few months ago, most sources were saying that Crystal’s measurements were 39-32-43.

At popular demand, one skinny supermodel on the left and one slim, athletic and not-as-skinny one on the right. Both rocking the Victoria’s Secret stage, both looking enviable in lingerie – but of course, we’ve all got our favorite!

Does sexy lingerie look better on very thin and lean figures on the runway, or does it look better on the slightly curvier, shapelier girls?

You want to see more Victoria’s Secret models looking like… Miranda or like Doutzen? You’ll have to agree, this year, most of them look closer to Miranda.

Every event MUST have our trademark Skinny VS Curvy post and our picks for the VMAs are Nicky Hilton and Alicia Keys.

Alicia is a classic pear shape, with curvy hips, thick thighs and strong-looking legs, while Nicky is actually a very thin apple shape (she carried more weight in her middle area when she was heavier a few years back).

Skinny VS Curvy Time! Nicky Hilton VS Alicia Keys!

And since they have SUCH different legs, which pair do you like better?

Pick your favorite!

Note: Remember, this is just for expressing your preferences! This is not an actual battle and we DO believe both women and beautiful in their own way.
