I’m gradually getting tired of all this fuss about plus size and thin models. But it seems that the story has only begun and is to continue for long.
This time it’s Crystal Renn who opens up a new page with the photo shoot for V magazine. She is photographed together with the rising star Jacquelyn Jablonski.
The girls are both 5ft 9in tall and have long straight black hair but that’s all that is similar between them. Jacquelyn is 17 and very skinny, just like any other conventional model of nowadays. And Crystal, 23, is a famous plus-size model.
The shoot is intended to show people that plump girls can look as beautiful and hot as thin ones wearing the same clothes.
As it turned out Renn, who is a curvy size 16, looks as nice and sexy as Miss Jablonski. Both girls wear tribal-inspired outfits by high-fashion designers including Ralph Lauren, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana.
The pictures which were taken by top fashion photographer Terry Richardson, are the latest in a series of campaigns for designers and magazines to use models of different ages and body shapes.

Plus-size models are becoming more popular nowadays. Fashion does change with time. Maybe in a few years plump Crystal Renn-like looks will be considered much hotter than slim Kate Moss’s ones. I like both atually, because some women are naturally thin while others need to diet a lot to look like that. Fashion should be more flexible in my opinion, so that all women feel good about their appearances.
The photo shoot for Elle Canada January 2010 issue graces gorgeous plus-size model Crystal Renn. She looks fresh and healthy. Her curves do look nice and I’m sure there are lots of men who adore her shape more than skinny models’ ones.
The shoot is named ‘Ring The New year With High Glamour Frills, Feathers Sequins And Dazzling Diamonds’. I like the theme of Christmas and New Year popping everywhere. It creates holiday atmosphere and expectance of something magic, like in childhood.
Crystal looks fabulous at the pictures wearing clothes from Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Robert Rodriguez, Hermes, Kate Spade, and others. Shoes come from famous Manolo Blahnik.

I’ve recently talked to a friend who told me that the first idea that flashes across his mind when he hears the word “model” is “zero size”. And yes, for many years we’ve been watching skinny girls walking down the runway. Now this is so usual that when we see a plump woman posing on the cover of a glossy or strutting at red carpet we feel surprised, no, that’s not the word, I would say astonished!
After that talk I decided to write a post about women who are not skinny but plump, and feel proud of their shapes. Of course there are few of such ladies but I like the fact there are they – those women who are confident enough to show up their figures and stand against all that nonsense told about heavy people.
We will begin from Crystal Renn, a supermodel with nice feminine curves. As well as other chubby girls, she used to limit herself in pastry, do plenty of physical exercises, go on various diets; but then suddenly stopped and understood that this was the way to nowhere.
And soon she posed for Jean-Paul Gaultier, and graced the covers of Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and ELLE.
The next big girl we are going to talk about is Mia Tyler. She is Liv Tyler’s sister and Steven Tyler’s daughter. She is a successful plus-size model, an actress and a fashion designer. She likes her shape a lot and doesn’t feel shy to show it.
