Despite the fashion world’s stick thin model domination, V Magazine has decided to devote an entire issue to curvier women, reports the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
“The Size Issue” includes a high-fashion photo shoot with women who are proud to flaunt their thicker thighs, fuller tummies, large breasts and even their love handles.
The voluptuous models are clad in very little throughout the spread, wearing items like a pair of Guess jeans without a top, Dolce & Gabbana lingerie, a Gucci swimsuit, or in one shot: nothing but some fire engine red lipstick.
Solve Sundsbo, the Norwegian fashion photographer who shot the spread, told the Daily Mail that he “loved the opportunity to show that you can be beautiful and sexy outside the narrow interpretations that normally define us.”
And while plenty of models will most likely turn up their noses at the issue, 2010 might be the year for the plus-sized model.
In recent months, model Lara Stone has become famous in her own right, despite her size eight figure and trademark gap-toothed smile, while Beth Ditto, lead singer of the Gossip, has found runway success with her plus-sized collection for Evans in the U.K.
V Magazine’s “Size Issue” hits newsstands on January 14.
