| Brooklyn Decker, Alessandra Ambrosio and Crystal Renn Pose together and separately. Click images to enlrage. Here’s a little extra info: Crystal Renn Age: 23 Height: 5′9” / 175 cm Measurements (source: Fashion Model Directory): (US) 39-32-43 / (EU) 99-81-109 cm. Dress Size: US 12 Seems to me these measurements don’t fit this model anymore. Looking at these photos and this most recent layout, either Chrystal has lost a lot of weight and is down to a size 10 or they have photo-shopped this which I don’t understand… You hired her to be this size and then they photo-shop them down to a smaller size. What is a plus size model? This is what wiki had to say: Plus-size model is a term applied to a person who is engaged primarily in modeling plus-size clothing. Plus-size models also engaged in work that is not strictly related to selling large-sized clothing, e.g., stock photography and advertising photography for cosmetics, household and pharmaceutical products and sunglasses, footwear and watches. Therefore plus-size models do not exclusively wear garments marketed as plus-size clothing. This is especially true when participating in fashion editorials for mainstream fashion magazines. The requirements for female plus-size models are no different from those of other models, except for larger bust- waist-hip measurements; the minimum acceptable height is generally no shorter than 5'9"/175.3 cm[1][2][3] and they must have clear skin, good bone structure and a well-proportioned body.[4] While there are a small number of male plus-size models represented by agents,[5] there are no clear height and size requirements. The type of work that plus-size models engage in is of comparable variety to that of their smaller-sized counterparts. Advertising campaigns, magazine editorials, catwalk work, garment fit modeling, and live and pre- recorded TV presentations and commercials comprise much of work available. Increasingly, female plus-size models are also being utilized by the media to stimulate debate on healthy self-esteem and body image, especially regarding struggles with eating disorders. Synonymous and interchangeable with plus-size model is "full-figured model," "extended-sizes model," and "outsize model". So These are the other recent photos of Crystal Renn in Australian Harper’s Bazaar! Click to enlarge. Australia usually embraces the Plus size but all is not well there in Plus size Model world.

So PLUS SIZED MODELS are starting to become part of Americana, but in Australia it is different. Fashion Week
in Australia last year, 18 “plus-sized” girls walked the runway at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, this year,
the size 12+ girls were excluded from the fashion event… so they decided to protest, while letting their T-shirts
promote their slogans: “I love my curves” and “We love real women”.
Here are more details from news.com.au: NEGOTIATING curves has proved too hazardous for the designers of
Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, as plus-sized models claim they have been shut out by the local industry.
Big Gal Models agent Darrianne Donnelly said the industry had gone backwards after showcasing 18 plus-size
models at Australian Fashion Week last year. That positive initiative by RAFW owner IMG was hailed a success
but has not one was invited to participate this year.
“The public wants to see themselves, in all shapes and sizes, not just size 6,” Ms Donnelly said.
A group of plus-size models wearing T-Shirts with slogans such as “I love my curves” and “We love real
women” staged a protest outside an Australian Fashion Week event yesterday.
Designer Alex Perry was defiant about his right to choose. “Nobody is going to tell me how to pick models,” he
said.
So have you given up on dieting and decided to love your curves? Here are some tips on becoming a plus-
sized model. Becoming a plus-size model may require a little extra height and an ideal size range, but you'll also
need drive and a tough skin to make it in the industry. If you've got what it takes and you're interested in plus-
size modeling, review the basics to get started and get your portfolio out there.
Create Your Portfolio
When you're first breaking into the industry, you won’t need a full portfolio to begin making inquiries. Instead,
concentrate on photographs that show your natural beauty and that aren’t particularly staged or posed. Aim for
at least one high-quality face shot and a full-body shot in simple, flattering attire.
• Note: If you have poor-quality photographs, it's advised to arrive at the agency without photographs. If you
are a beginning model and show potential, many agencies will understand.
Contact Agencies
You'll need to get in touch with modeling agencies to jumpstart your professional career, but educate yourself
about the "right" agencies. Check out potential agencies' reputations with other professionals in the industry,
and never pay fees to apply or sign onto an agency.
Call the top three agencies in your area and schedule appointments to meet. On the day of your appointment,
wear comfortable, semi-casual clothing that fit well. Consider wearing a pair of kitten heels to add a little extra
height without being overly obvious.
Attend an Open Call
Open calls can be an overwhelming experience, particularly if you find yourself in a large group of hopefuls.
• Some agencies may have you fill out an extensive form before speaking with you. You will need to identify
your contact information, interests, measurements, and experience. You may also be measured by the modeling
agency representative.
• Smile, and don't let any criticism get to you. As you attend more casting calls, you could hear comments on
your headshots or figure. Simply say thank you and move on.
• Know that if you do get signed, you'll be expected to create a portfolio, as well as comp/zed cards. While
this is a substantial cards, do not pay an agency to be on their website, to be represented, or to attend their
school.
Plus Size Modeling Requirements
While you may need to fit into a certain size to become a plus model, that's not all. Plus models are generally
5'8" to 6' in height, and wear a size 10 and up.
Other guidelines include:
• A proportional figure
•
• Shapely legs
Note: Fit models may be required in larger sizes or shorter heights than standard plus-size modeling, and it’s
worth inquiring when you call agencies.

Specialty Model Agency Divisions
Gary Dakin headed New York's Karin Models' Curves division, only to leave after a short time to develop the
Ford agency's Ford 12+ model division in their New York office. In Constantine Valhouli's 2001 plus-size model
documentary Curve, Dakin states, "We're celebrating our 25th anniversary of the Ford 12+ division. It was the
first and longest-existing plus division in the industry."(sic) Wilhelmina NYC agent Susan Georget started the
Wilhelmina 10/20 division in New York 1994, recently re-branded W Curve. Together, these agents created
agency divisions that have continued to recruit the highest calibre of models in the industry and are credited
with expanding opportunities for plus-size models beyond working solely for plus-size clothing retailers,
although Georget and Dakin have now removed themselves from day-to-day booking tasks.
While these agencies are responsible for driving the growth and scope of work for plus-size models, there are
a large number of reputable agencies located throughout the U.S. and Canada, and internationally in the U.K.,
Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and Australia.
Specialty Media and Other Ventures, North America
• In 1979 'Big Beautiful Woman magazine (more commonly known via the acronym BBW) began publication
and was one of the first publications in the US catering specifically to plus-size clothing consumers. It ceased
publication in 1995, but the "BBW" brand was sold onwards[10] and although it was resurrected in print via
several different editor and publisher combinations it continued to falter, finally ceasing print publication most
recently in the late 1990s. BBW is now an online community surrounding archived material from the magazine.
• With strong cooperation from Wilhelmina 10/20, Curves and Ford 12+ agencies, MODE Magazine was
launched in the spring of 1997. No other fashion magazine specifically targeted the plus-size consumer with a
Vogue-like fashion philosophy. MODE's editorial practice of providing models' names, sometimes attached to
quotes on self-esteem to make them more approachable greatly aided the popularity of the models featured
and gave them a form of celebrity. MODE also ran model search competitions in conjunction with the Wilhelmina
modelling agency, drawing entries from thousands of hopefuls from the US and Canada. Occurring shortly
before the time of MODE's closure was the failure of several designers' ventures into the plus-size market.
Versace (GV Versatile Couture), Valentino (Carisma), Anne Klein Plus and others ceased producing the clothing
which MODE Magazine relied upon, leaving an unfortunate deficit in both the fashion department wardrobes
and advertising revenue coffers of MODE Magazine and its successor/s. Its circulation was approximately
600,000 at the time of its demise[11] in late 2001.
• Grace Magazine was launched on May 14, 2002 by MODE Magazine's last Executive Editor, Ceslie
Armstrong, and many of the ex-MODE staff as an independent quarterly publication and website under a similar
concept. Even though the initial 400,000 print run sold out quickly and advertising revenue appeared high, the
independent status and limited funding prohibited the ability to grow to fill the newsstand and subscription
orders. Critics[citation needed], however, believed that Grace featured far less stylish fashion content than its
predecessor and unwisely pursued an editorial emphasis on weight-related health issues. Grace Magazine
ceased operation due to lack of funding in November 2003, after publishing 10 issues.
• In 1995, Lane Bryant began a transformation of the brand which included large-scale fashion showings and
the use of celebrity endorsement. Queen Latifah, Mia Tyler, Camryn Manheim, Anna Nicole Smith and Chris Noth
have all appeared in advertising and/or events on behalf of the brand. Lane Bryant held a large-scale lingerie
fashion show[12] to launch the "Cacique Intimates" lingerie collection on February 1, 2000. The 2003 final large-
scale catwalk show[13] featured Roseanne Barr as Matron of Ceremonies in a cabaret setting complete with
Moulin Rouge-style singers and dancers. Lane Bryant was acquired by Charming Shoppes for $335 million in
August 2001, and in 2003 a cost-reduction plan was announced to improve the company's pre-tax position by
$45 million. Shortly afterwards, the annual Lane Bryant fashion show ceased production
• Charming Shoppes' custom advertorial magazine, Figure was launched in 2002, and was later revamped
during 2006. Although it featured only Charming Shoppes' own product and related lifestyle articles, it remained
the only fashion and lifestyle print magazine specifically-targeted for plus-size consumers up to the time of its
announced closure after the publication of the March/April 2009 issue. [14].
• U.S. television program America's Next Top Model has featured contestants[15] acknowledging the plus-
size industry's relevance to fashion since the show's launch in 2003. After elimination from the competition
several of the contestants have signed contracts with the Wilhelmina agency, although only Tocarra Jones and
Whitney Thompson have successfully translated their TV celebrity into an ongoing modeling career.
• Several homegrown calendar projects featuring models over a U.S. size 12 were launched in 2007,
including the well-publicized Luscious and Fenomenal Calendar products from North America. To date, no
calendar has been successful enough to continue beyond its initial launch year.
• Canadian publication LouLou magazine has included specifically produced bi-annual plus-size fashion
inserts featuring editorials and product pages since 2008. Echoing Figure's advertorial relationship to Lane
Bryant, LouLou's supplement features products from Reitmans group of plus-size apparel companies (Addition-
Elle, MXM, Pennington's) within its pages.
• Vogue U.S. continues to use plus-size models and celebrities for the annual "Shape Issue" (April issue),
and after the appearance of a stock photograph of model Lizzie Miller, U.S. Glamour has declared it will feature
more plus-size models as editorial policy[16].
• High fashion print publication V Magazine featured seven agency-represented plus-size models in "The
Size Issue" #63, photographed by prominent fashion photographers[17][18] [19].

10/1/2010 CRYSTAL RENN | VOGUE PARIS OCT. 2010 Ford Model!
Crystal Renn is an American fashion model and author.
June 18, 1986 (1986-06-18) (age 24) Miami, Florida, United States
Height 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in)
Weight low weight 115lbs High weight 176lbs
Hair color Dark Brown
Eye color Brown
Measurements (cm) 96.5-76-106.5 (in) 38C-30-42
Dress size (US) 12 ; (EU) 42 ; (UK) 16
Spouse Gregory Vrecenak, (2007- 2009)
I love Vogue Paris and it is usually filled with rail thin girls which of course are totally thinspirational. But this
month we have some reverse thinspiration for Paris, Oct. 2010 Vogue. Now it isn’t because the model is a
plus size that makes this reverse thinspiration, even though for some just a plus size model would be
enough, It is all the food in these photos! Crystal Renn features in two editorials, the first titled “Bal
Masqué” celebrates the ninetieth anniversary of Vogue Paris and is shot in black and white by Mert Alas and
Marcus Piggott with styling by Carine Roitfeld. To the masquerade ball Crystal wears a nun’s habit and
suggestively makes a heart with her hands down. The second editorial, a solo story, titled “Festin” is
photographed by Terry Richardson and again styled by Carine Roitfeld with no expense spared for jewelry or
catering for all the food in these shots. To call this feast of a shoot cheeky would be a gross
understatement. Crystal was a thin model who suffered from an eating disorder and now is a plus size
model. My gripe with Crystal was that she started to lose a lot of weight and in an interview actually stated, “
A plus size today is a size 6” this quote made me angry for a women who knows that that is just not true. A
plus size model is a size 10 and up!! To say size 6 and try to be a promoter for anti-eating disorders, just gave
all size 6 girls a reason to start to feel fat if that is a “ plus size”, but it is not so all you size 6’s out there…
Don’t let what she said bum you out….. It was a totally incorrect statement. But, Crystal takes the chatter of
the last half year in stride and as you can see has a lot of fun in the process by looking at these photos. She
doesn’t so much address the elephant in the room as she devours it. Crystal’s showed there was room for
plus size models on the runway this season by walking in New York for Z Spoke by Zac Posen S/S 11 and in
Paris for Zac Posen S/S 11 with more to follow in 2011.
