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.

For the lingerie brand Princesse Tam-Tam, autumn-winter 2009/10 will be fresh and cheerful. To photograph its collection, Princesse Tam-Tam has called on fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo.
A Norwegian photographer accustomed to fashion magazines, Solve Sundsbo has brought a breath of fresh air to the winter collections of the lingerie label. The theme is ‘Warhol me!’, which highlights colour and the customization of the range.

Taken in wide angle, the images play with the natural and the sophisticated with models who appear to be frozen in their scene. Otherwise features are left to speak for themselves: bright colours, surprising leopard prints and lace.
