John Paul strikes back!
[Follow up on an earlier post.]
I’ve never liked Gaultier - his designs are tacky - but his response to the too thin controversy is fun. Actually, this model was the ideal in another century. (They say the French are getting more like fat Americans - because they are eating fast food such as MacDonalds more often.)
“Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier found his own way to comment on the ’size zero’ debate - by putting a larger model down the catwalk to show off his clothes.
Dressed in a daring black corsetry, the plus-sized model dwarfed her fellow waif-like catwalk queens.
Clearly more of a size 20 than the controversial model Size 0, this voluptuous woman proved big is beautiful as she strutted down the runway at Gaultier’s 30th anniversary show yesterday during fashion week in Paris.”
What if this becomes the norm? Then all the models will look like Russian matushkas! (Does anyone remember the ’80’s Wendy’s ads depicting a Russian fashion show? It was hilarious - Moscow was insulted and Wendy’s had to take down the ads.)
