While not quite back-to-back (May & August), two appearances in Vogue Paris in the same year is quite an achievement for any model, let alone one reknown for pushing size boundaries.  Carine Roitfeld has gathered an unusual and impressive designer wardrobe for this moody, sensual series of 7 photos.

DRESSED TO FRILL

Groan-worthy puns aside, this well-executed editorial by Australia’s Woman’s Day magazine is a neat example of showing pretty lingerie on a variety of body sizes.  It is lovely to see that the largest model is given the most number of photos in the series!

THE BIGGEST WINNER

While some larger models appearing on reality weight-loss shows have found it to be the end of their career…not so for this Australian model.  While she may be better known for appearing in the first series of Australia’s version of Biggest Loser, with this glowing cover and 8 pages of editorial in the redesigned magazine Notebook, [...]

SHOP TIL WE DROP

Australia has had another bumper crop of editorials featuring models ranging from size 10-16, courtesy of the June 2010 issue of  Shop Til You Drop.   While the abundance of content is heartening, it is a shame that the Editor felt she had to point out that this was NOT to be thought of as [...]

My Black is Beautiful is a marketing campaign by Proctor and Gamble specifically created to (paraphrased slightly) “celebrate the diverse collective beauty of African-American women and encourage black women to define and promote their own beauty standard — one that is an authentic reflection of their indomitable spirit.” I wish I had more images of [...]

Italy’s La Repubblica‘s fashion magazine offshoot “D del Donna” paired up Christophe Kutner and Tara Lynn for this challenging editorial, called Extra.  I know some people won’t get it because it’s not really about clothes, but that is why I like it.  Still scratching my head on the comparison of Tara to Beth Ditto in [...]

POOLSIDE MODEL MIX

BlackBeauty thmb

Even though the models are wearing black and therefore ‘slimming’ swimwear (the designated first resort for those of us concerned about revealing flesh by the waterside, apparently), a twist to the usual style of presentation in Australia’s Woman’s Day magazine is the size diversity of the models – a size 14-16 and an 8(?) shown [...]
