Europe has been watching the fashion models’ BMI for years. Voluptuous is the new black according to Euro fashion gurus. Models are looking curvier on catwalks than they have in years. And even the waif tooth-pick style icon Kate Moss, who uttered the famous: ”no food tastes as good as skinny feels’ has been spotted a tad more ‘womanly’ (read with boobs and hips) than in her die-hard heroine chick days.
However, The New York City fashion Week has been hopelessly behind this trend for years. That’s why I was puzzled to pick up the news paper with this headline the other morning.
I met and photographed top model Coco Rocha backstage at the Rag & Bone show a couple of seasons ago and she was skinnier and taller than most of the models that day.
interesting and about time that a NYC news paper brings this topic up. I just hope that designers, fashion editors and teenage girls all over the planet hop on this new trend: Curvy is delicious. I’m tired of attending ‘anonymous under-eaters’ parties during fashion week.
