First Look: Terry Richardson Photographs Crystal Renn for V Magazine (#63) "The Size Issue"
by | December 22, 2009 8:52 am
Terry Richardson's editorial for V magazine's "The Size Issue" features plus-sized model Crystal Renn along side a more traditional model-size zero, Jacquelyn Jablonski.
Wearing identical looks—both in sample size outfits, the models are similarly posed to prove a point. Richardson's photo spread takes on the myth that bright, form-fitting fashion can only work on girl with a 24 inch waist and succeeds in making those Proenza Schouler skirts look just as fashionable around Renn's 41 inch hips.
Renn, who has walked for Jean Paul Gaultier and appeared in American Vogue, recently authored a book about her own weight and body image struggles within the modeling industry. The memoir entitled, "Hungry: A Young Model's Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves," was released this fall.
