We’ve been having a moan about skinny models for a very long time now. This was briefly broken when a few months ago after Glamour featured photo of plus model Lizzie Miller on its front cover, and when Mark Fast caused controversy when he sent plus-size models down his spring catwalk in September, but as far as we were concerned nothing else seemed to change. Until now that is.

V magazine has decided to bump up the debate by dedicating a whole issue to larger models. The glossy, which has previously featured Alexa Chung has decided to fly the flag for normal looking girls and features Crystal Renn, Kate Dillon, Mia Tyler, Whitney Thompson and Hayley Morley in designer clothes.

Stephan Gan, editor of V magazine said: “Big, little, pint-size, plus-size – everybody is beautiful. And this issue is out to prove it.”

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves Stephan.
