Loving Jean Paul Gaultier

Filed in archive Diet and Nutrition , Fashion and Style , News by Ivy on October 6, 2006

No matter what you think about Jean Paul Gaultier's clothing design (I must say I adore it), you have to love him for embracing the world as it is, with people coming in all shapes and sizes. He continues to break catwalk rules of height / body mass / age once again with his newest ready to wear spring 2007 collection, presented at Paris two days ago.

The charming man shared his view of the thin-model-ban with a plus model wearing one of the outfits. The Daily Telegraph reports:

"While Paris Fashion Week officials shunned Madrid's moves last month to ban underweight models, Gaultier embraced the the controversy by putting a plus-size beauty on his catwalk.
The supersize stunt made Gaultier's curvy model laugh and even drew a grin from the usually stone-faced Anna Wintour, the fashion editor who inspired Meryl Streeplinks's character in The Devil Wears Prada movie."








Loving Jean Paul Gaultier

The model's name is Velvet, and she looked like having a blast wearing top fashion surrounded by too thin models.


As one of my favorite bloggers said, there's no need to ban or support people based solely on their body weight, but pretending that no one over the age of 20, under the height of 5ft 9in and over the weight of 7st is going to wear the clothes presented at the catwalks is absurd. It's like banning 99% of people alive, so you tell me which is absurd.

And let's not forget the lovely Crystal Renn, who started off as a stick-skinny model, had no luck whatsoever finding a job until she put on considerable weight - and was invited to wear the spring 2006 Jean Paul Gaultier show.
