 Gaultier swaps Size O models for 'Size 20' [span class="artDate"]

[/span]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. [/p]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. [/p]

Wow, what a huge gap!  Why couldn't he just go half way like size 10-12 ish?

  Oh, then I could do it.  oOOooooOOOoooo... hee hee...

fashion designers don't like normal people they like extremes.

[UGGGGG]

THAT'S JUST REPULSIVE.

THEY PROBABLY HAD TO REINFORCE THE CATWALK FOR THIS MONSTER.

You go, girl!!!

  Though I must say, that outfit is quite tasteless then again, I have never understood the fashion world.

Niether have I, I don't see people wearing these things ever. More oscar dresses are worn in public then catwalk stuff.

Clearly no one here perceived Gaultier's sense of humor. A little of it was already showing through the veils when he outfitted Madonna with those conical bras, but as the time it was probably interpreted as bad taste by many (including myself).

Besides, in some cultures fat women are commonly perceived as beautiful - the fatter, the better. Some time ago I read something about girls in some remote locality in a northern African country which are almost forcefed by their mothers in order to gain weight and to be as attractive as possible to potential suitors. I think it was in National Geographic.

Gaultier may just be preparing for the future...

I guess you must have had a mobile phone with you...

BTW, why do you call her a monster, UGGGGGG ?
I'll admit beauty is a matter of personal taste, but she didn't do anything to you, did she ?

I don't know why you would think that. (??)

I do have a cell phone, but I don't browse the web or post from it. I'm just putzing around here like I do every day. Some days I pay close attention to the board and some days I don't.

I have to agree with this sentiment. Although I don't find her attractive at all, I thnk that people who make these kind of comments ("monster", etc) are probably some pretty sorry-assed human beings.
 

[Moolah!]

Hadn't macademe mentioned once her brief stint at modelling?

Yes, why would I think that, eh.
You fell off the edge, and yet you were able to reach us ! That's why.
