Fat/Skinny

words to think about...

"Luxury is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside."

"A woman can be over-dressed, never over elegant."

-Coco Chanel

"A coutourier must be:
an architect for design,
a sculpture for shape,
a painter for colour,
and
a philosopher for temperance."

-Cristobal Balenciaga

fatties:
I found this article from The Wall Street Journal on overly thin models, it's dated Feb. 28, 2008. A quote from the article: "I think it's gotten worse," said Nina Garcia, fashion director at Elle magazine and a judge on cable television's "Project Runway," while we waited to see Balenciaga. "In the fashion industry, the models are getting thinner and thinner, yet as a culture, we're getting fatter and fatter."

When I send models down the runway, I want them to be 'fat'. Like, healthy!! We've all heard this debate a million times, and though a few companies and peoples decide to love real women's figures (like Dove) most seem afraid to be different here. It's just weird... So many people seem unhappy by the situation but it doesn't change...
