December 15th // 2 Comments

Previously plus-sized, Crystal Renn is now on her way to being labeled as a straight-size model due to her shrinking silhouette . But regardless of her weight, Crystal has always been able to work the camera! Here she is looking fierce in Zac Posen’s Pre-Fall lookbook:

Oprah Winfrey Looks Fabulous in Victoria Beckham Collection

October 28th // 2 Comments

Former Spice Girl (turned designer) Victoria Beckham really knows how to flatter a curvy figure. Celebs like Jennifer Hudson, America Ferrera and Oprah Winfrey are all fans of her designs because they cinch the waist, draw attention to the decolletage, and streamline the hips with a peplum-style skirt.

Doesn’t Oprah look fabulous at the Maria Shriver Women’s Conference? The color compliments her skin tone beautifully. Nice choice!

What do you think of this Victoria Beckham dress?

Curves Done Right: Christina Hendricks for London Fog

August 25th // 10 Comments

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.”

Lots of love,

Loren
