If anything, modeling should be about proportion and presence (fit modeling anyway, not runway modeling). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ny-times-article-on-plus-size-models#post-117379 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 22:38:26 +0000 Cedar 117379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the headline a little misleading--it's not so much the "triumph" of the plus size models, or women, as much as it is the triumph of this one very well known pluz size model. </p> <p>I do think it's utterly fascinating that the other model in the article mentions having been "padded" to look bigger for shoots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ny-times-article-on-plus-size-models#post-117354 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:25:10 +0000 RoseandJoan 117354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This article shows the V images of the different sized models side by side<br /> <a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2009/12/23/terry-s-take-on-the--is-thin-still-in--debate.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/f.....debate.htm</a><br /> Crystal certainly has presence which is probably why she is such a successful model.<br /> Lara Stone is also referred to as curvy (compared to the industry average), you judge for yourself<br /> <a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2009/12/18/lara-stone-shoplifts-from-chanel.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/f.....chanel.htm</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ny-times-article-on-plus-size-models#post-117340 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:19:42 +0000 chewyspaghetti 117340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was really interesting- be sure to click through to the preview of the magazine that they are referring to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ny-times-article-on-plus-size-models#post-117337 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:05:15 +0000 medusa 117337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's an interesting article in the New York Times about plus-size models. The title is "The Triumph of the Size 12s". (Yes, being a size 12 makes you a plus-size model!) The main message is that the backlash over super-skinny models is helping the careers of plus-size models.</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/fashion/14CRYSTAL.html?8dpc&#038;pagewanted=all" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01.....wanted=all</a> </p>
