style news: 11.03.10

Marc Jacobs has followed Prada's lead this season by bringing the curvy silhouette back into fashion. Jacobs employed the use of fleshier swimsuit-edition girls for his show for Louis Vuitton, including Laetitia Casta, Bar Refaeli and Adriana Lima,  their heftier busts spilling out from wool corsets and hips accentuated by full midlength skirts. Australia's most successful model export Elle Macpherson also made her first catwalk appearance in over a decade to further enforce the fact that the older, curvier woman is back and it's definitely time to ditch the size zero sentiment.

  • I think the clothes and the ladies are all fabulous. On the street you'd still call these women slim, and i applaud the use of any model that is healthy and beautiful, no matter her size or shape. Brava! REPORT COMMENT

  • I think the use of curvier women by Marc Jacobs is beautiful and hopefully the begginning of a new era of acceptability. These women are healthy and well fed. I would only hope my children are looking up to these women in the future and not the previously seen 'wasting-away' models. REPORT COMMENT

  • Yes using curvier women is good for all women. However, why on earth would such a beautiful woman as Elle go the way of so many others. Her face is starting to look frozen and hideous in these photos. Can't any of these women age gracefully? Unless of course they are bad shots taken by the photographer!! REPORT COMMENT

  • Thank God! A real woman who looks like a woman and someone who looks like a little boy!

    Real men like real curves! REPORT COMMENT
