Weight is always a “weighty” question in the style world.
Friday, January 15, 2010
In a recent article, The NY Times writer Eric Wilson, said "the backlash against fashion images of the super thin is giving larger models a major career boost". Models like Chrystal Renn ,23 years old, 5'9"--38/30/42--is a size 12. The average woman is 5'4" and a size 14. Ms Renn says "I believe fashion can be a place of diversity. It's not going to happen overnight, but do you want it to?
Why not? The sooner the fashion world reconciles with reality the better for everyone. The sooner quality goods become affordable--the better for everyone. The sooner high fashion finds longevity again (like in the 50s and before) the better. Disposable style is not real style.
The better the information the average person receives in all media--the better everyone will look in the future.
The issue of weight is part of a larger issue. Reality bites!
What is your reality?
