DOES ONE SIZE FIT ALL...?


I really like the concept that Terry Richardson has worked into the latest issue of V magazine. In the feature 'One Size Fits All', Richardson has photographed the latest looks for spring 2010 on both a typical size zero model and a plus size one, proving that they can work on any figure! Being, not a twig, but a size 10/12 girl myself, I do find that some clothes just don't suit my figure, but is that really true or is it because we are only familiar with tiny shorts and crop tops being paraded on stick thin models as apposed to the size of an average girl in the pages of our fashion magazines?
Recently the argument against size zero has risen again; with Mark Fast choosing to use size 14 girls in his shows this September and Alexandra Shulman writing to designers demanding they send larger sample sizes...now this... It will be interesting to see what happens in a couple of months during the a.w 10/11 shows...
