Seven plus-size knockouts -- Crystal Renn, Lizzie Miller, Amy Lemons, Ashley Graham, Kate Dillon, Anansa Sims and Jennie Runk -- show off what their mamas gave them for the November issue of Glamour magazine.
In the article accompanying the photograph (and yes, all the models actually ate
the catered food at the shoot!), Glamour writer Genevieve Field discusses the
fashion industry's obsession with weight, explaining that any model over a size
6 is often considered plus-size because she's too big for the designer samples
that typically run from a size 0-4.
Field also talks about the stigma associated with high-end designers
producing garments over size 12, giving kudos to Michael by Michael Kors, Baby
Phat and Isaac Mizrahi for Liz Clairborne -- all brands that embrace size 14 and
above.
