Plus size models hitting runway

Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier found his own way to comment on the ’size zero’ debate - by putting a larger model down the catwalk to show off his clothes. Dressed in a daring black corsetry, the plus-sized model dwarfed her fellow waif-like catwalk queens.

Clearly more of a size 20 than the controversial model Size 0, this voluptuous woman proved big is beautiful as she strutted down the runway at Gaultier’s 30th anniversary show last year during fashion week in Paris.

    Yeah, no. Sorry. The skinnier models are much more beautiful. Clothes look better on smaller women. Who wants to buy something that is on a whale? Not me!

    you dont have to be anerexic to look beautiful, if you look at some pics of stars they look realy ill, yeah ok size 0 does look good in jeans. skinnier people (about size 2-8) are much healthyier than ultra skinny models and plus sized models!
    (a frend ) of myn was turned down by a modeling agency because she was to fat wen she is a size 2 and her bones are sticking out her back, nd ribs are popping out!

    Some people are so desperate to be a size 0 they starve for days, weeks, they starve too look skinny, people/ children in africa and 3rd world countrys starve because they have to, because they have no food no water!

    ew, im all for normal looking NON stick girls, but overweight fat chicks are just as not healthy. it’s disgusting to think that that is normal.

    Ew, what’s wrong with the fashion industry? It’s always either EXTREME fat or EXTREME skinny. Can’t they just get some NORMAL girls? Life is whack.

    How conditioned are some people to think that any woman over a size to is not beautiful. it is shallow thinking people who have kept plus sized woman oof the runways and out of key corporate positions. It advocates not only that you aren’t beautiful but that you can’t possibley be attractive to any one. Not only should people look through the eyes of maturity, but realize that beauty comes in more than one size. Keep being a beautiful woman!! Stunning

    i believe in balance, too thin is unhealthy, and the same goes with being too overweight. By starving oneself our bodies will eventually shut down with lack of nutrition, And by overeating we will develop all types illness. So where is the balance in that. True beauty is anyone who loves themselves enough to repect their body by treating it affection and respect. The human body is an amazing machine, for we should be so ever greatful for. Peace….to all you beautiful beings.
