EN VOGUE: PARIS STRIKES AGAIN! NSFW

Just a few short weeks after the revelation of larger sized models in Elle’s Spécial Rondes issue, Vogue Paris’ May 2010 issue gives us virtual whiplash by including a short, very extreme editorial featuring a faux fringe*-clad Crystal Renn**.

Steven Klein can always be relied upon to push the envelope as far as possible, and then some more.  We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto!

Translation:
When moving from Mississippi to New York to follow her dreams of becoming a top model, Crystal Renn did not suspect the spiral of self-destruction which awaited her. Today, the ex-anorexic is converted into a priestess of sensuality.  (She’s) An example of fashion, which offers a destiny extra-large.

Penelope Cruz says: “The story of Crystal Renn has touched me very much.   I hope that it will encourage other women like her to want to share her experience.”

* Fringe = bangs (U.S. translation LOL)
**Because Crystal’s size has dropped considerably, I’m working on separating her posts out into their own space where fans can see everything in one spot. When I find the best solution, her posts will be a mere click away.
