After yesterday’s intense discussion over plus-size model Crystal Renn’s new ads for Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier, I thought it important to share the new London Fog campaign with you. London Fog really got it right when choosing the size 12 Christina Hendricks as their spokesmodel – she looks amazing and the company does a great job of showing off, not hiding, her curves:
The Mad Men star has been quoted saying:
“London Fog is a classic brand, which I love. It also ties in to Mad Men, we used London Fog in the show and this is a nice way to tie everything together. The trench is such an iconic shape for men and women. It works for anyone — it worked in the 1960s and it works now.”
What do you think of the ad campaign? Let me know in the comment section or tweet me @myfashioncents.
Lots of love,

Shown below are two new ads featuring the gorgeous plus-size model, Crystal Renn. Does anyone else find it strange that her entire figure is included in the Jean Paul Gaultier fall campaign, however, only her face is used in the Chanel photo?
(FYI – Chanel hired her for the reopening of their Soho store – not to model their fall line)
What’s your take on plus-size models? Crystal is only a size 10!

I love to wear white denim, but to be honest, I’ve never thought about how it would look on a man. I came across this photo of Usher and his little ones arriving at CBS studios and was pleasantly surprised! The white jeans looked great, especially when paired with a trendy, military-style shirt:
Not sure how you feel about wearing white? Test it out for cheap with this pair:

So, what do you think? Would you wear white jeans?

Twilight star Kellan Lutz made his way through LAX airport recently wearing a pair of Hemp Vagabonds by the footwear company Sanuk. The Vagabonds are light, breathable, comfortable and earth-friendly! The best part: this stylish shoe is available in various colors and retails for only $56!
Cute, right?

When a man wears sneakers with a suit, it can be appropriate and stylish if in the right setting. However, here is Zac Efron heading over to NBC’s Today show yesterday and not only is he rockin’ the dressed-up sneaker look, he paired it with a denim shirt:
To my male readers, this poses a question. Would you wear this outfit?
To my ladies, also a question. What do you think of Zac’s outfit?
Let me know your answers in the comments section!

As of right now, the largest size available by a high-end designer at Saks Fifth Avenue is a 10. Come fall, that is all about to change! Labels like Chanel, YSL, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen and Fendi will be offering pieces up to a size 14 or possibly a 20.
The downside is that these items will only be available in New York – however, if all goes well you might see plus-size designer duds in Saks‘ all over the country in the future!
What do you think? A step in the right direction?

America has fallen in love with curvy girl Christina Hendricks – and with her sexy, retro style – ever since she signed on to play Joan Holloway in the AMC hit series Mad Men. Here she is on the red carpet for the season four premiere of the show on Tuesday, wearing a high neck, black lace mini from Dolce & Gabbana:
Black + lace looks great on just about everyone, and her choice of an emerald cocktail ring is the perfect pop of color (along with her gorgeous red hair!). Check out how you can get a Dolce & Gabbana look-a-like, for less:
Shopbop, Nightcap Clothing Victorian Lace Dress $231
Are you a fan of the show?
Love,
