Since I’ve gotten behind on posting editorials, I decided to post three of my favorite ones back-to-back-to-back. I got all of the images from Every Body is Beautiful, an amazing archive of fashion imagery featuring models sized 10 and over. If you haven’t checked that blog out, you must!

The editorial below features blog favorite Crystal Renn in Australian Harper’s Bazaar, one of my all-time favorite. Crystal is styled in high-end designer clothes that showcase her curves, there is even an image that shows a bit of a bulge! Crystal looks absolutely amazing in these photos. Love it!

This editorial is from the December 2008 Elle Italia magazine that features Crystal Renn in couture. I love when Crystal does high-fashion shoots because her sultry look is a perfect fit.

This editorial features Johanna Dray and appeared in Gala magazine in Paris. I love the vintage feel of the shoot, back when the fleshier women were objects of art pieces. Just amazing.

From Igigi’s press release—

Plus-size Brazilian model, Fluvia Lacerda, stars in ‘16’, a short film that challenges the stereotypes of beauty currently set by the film, fashion, and advertising industries. The film is a departure from the norm, as Lacerda is a size 16, rather than the usual size 2.

“Today women think they must fit unachievable molds in order to feel beautiful and sexy”, says Lacerda. “As a curvy woman I have always felt sexy under my skin and this film carries that very message, a message I hope will open people’s minds with regard to how diverse beauty can be.

This provocative film is directed by Mark De Paola, a fashion photographer and director whose portfolio includes Armani and DKNY. Lacerda has modeled for Torrid, Fashion Bug, and Biluzik. In ‘16’ she is shown in the shower, wearing lingerie, and then walking in an evening gown.

The two-minute film was commissioned by IGIGI, a women’s size 12+ fashion apparel retailer. ‘16’ is the first film to be created and produced by a plus size women’s fashion company.

“IGIGI’s philosophy is that every woman deserves to feel beautiful” says IGIGI’s founder and designer, Yuliya Raquel. “Television and fashion magazines are starting to acknowledge that women who are size 12-plus exist, but ‘16’ goes beyond that. We made this film because we believe that curvy women should not only feel acknowledged, but be celebrated, too. It represents how IGIGI sees women— beautiful, sexy and powerful.”

Love, love, LOVE this!

One of my favorite Crystal Renn editorials ever. Picture #4 is so hot, I can’t take it!

ps. If you haven’t picked up a copy of her book Hungry, be sure to! I’m almost finished my copy!

I’ve come to the conclusion that I fail at meeting deadlines when it comes to blogging. That in itself is amazing seeing as I’m a designer in real life and have deadlines everyday. Oh well, what can you do? So seeing as how Fatspiration Friday took an unplanned vacation the past two weeks, this post is larger than normal. Enjoy!
