I caught this thought provoking article while perusing The Gray Lady (aka NYT) and immediately scampered over to peep the accompanying photo shoot in V Magazine.... shot by the uber brilliant Terry Richardson. The pictures truly emphasize the beauty in body diversity, which is refreshing for the fashion world. On another note, the clothes in the shoot are phenomenal....but V is known for its fusion of fashion and art so I expected nothing less.
On another note, this spread has really opened the communication wavelengths about what is 'plus sized'. I have had several thought provoking discussions with friends/co-workers/etc about the depiction of women's bodies, and what is too-big/too-thin. I think Crystal Renn has a beautiful figure, but based on some reactions, you would think she looks like Kirstie Alley pre-Jenny Craig. Check out the entire shoot and decide for yourself.
