“An iconoclast meets the icon of class.” –Karl Lagerfeld

After reportedly saying "no one wants to see curvy women" and "you've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly," the German designer has seized the opportunity to get even more publicity by photographing plus-size burlesque star Miss Dirty Martini for V Magazine's highly anticipated "Size Issue."

Dirty Martini will be soon seen

The last informers are telling that this movie about

a burlesque troup will be showned at the Cannes Film Festival.

Underweight Models in London Fashion show

I was looking at photo of the last London fashion shows 

when i realised that models where incredibly skinny.

I have to say that is not a matter of what should be the perfect body topic.

It's just this time simply revolting and ugly.

I simply don't want to look like this.

All over the globe, those fashion shows are dissect by fashion globers, TVs and Magazines. 

We are looking at underweight models 

(Anorexic is maybe a more suitable word ) but nobody seems to notice.

I just want to remenber you that the body mass of less than 18.5 

is underweight and may indicate malnutrition, 

an eating disorder, or other health problems.

For exemple: If a model mesure 1.8 metres (5 ft 11), 

her weight will be consider normal if she is weighting between 60 and 81 kilograms.

 The same model will be considered underweight if she is weighting less than 60 kg (132 lb).

I would like to see more Plus sizes models

 like the gorgeous and curvy : Crystal Reen.

She is talking about her struggle with diet and her new life

 as a Xsize model in this interview.

She is now a 12 size model at 20 years old and worked with photographers 

such Steven Meisel, Craig McDean and Patrick Demarchelier.
