V Magazine dedicates a full issue to plus size models

By Andrea Petrou on December 15th, 2009

V mag.jpgWe’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.

Plus size models slowly moving into fashion magazines

By Andrea Petrou on September 2nd, 2009

lizzie.jpgIt seems that fashion magazines are finally taking note of our need to see a real woman on fashion spreads and on covers.

After a huge positive response to the nude photo of plus-size model Lizzie Miller in the September issue of American Glamour, the magazine will apparently feature “a slew of large, nude models” in its November’s issue.

We hope this filters through to the UK versions but we wonder if we’ll still be bombarded with features like “lose weight, fee great” alongside these.

It actually reminds me of a time when, after reading one magazine article on a girl’s fight with anorexia, I turned the page to be presented with an advert for Adios. Oh dear.

Tell us what you think. Is Lizzie is the kind of model you would like to see gracing the magazine pages? Vote below.
