While the plus size industry has been buzzing with all the main stream inclusion of Crystal Renn, at the very same time, I’ve been asked “What size is she”? It’s clear she is no where the size 14 she used to be when she first graced the cover of Vogue in 2006 but in the fashion world at a size 8 or 10 she is still considered plus size. (We are totally speculating)
At her size, she opens the doors for other models, like Tara Lynn, to show curves in a more voluptuous way.
While reading the fashion blogs this morning, I noticed one blogger suggested the modeling agencies offer a “Normal Division”. Is Crystal’s weight loss a real issue within the industry?
