One word… glam. That’s the only word that can describe the uber chic cover of Italian Vogue’s June issue. The always fashion forward, barrier breaking magazine’s June issue will feature three plus sized models, and we think that’s worth taking notice.
The black and white 1960’s inspired cover features models Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley and was shot by fashion photographer Steven Meisel. Model Marquita Pring is also featured alongside the cover models inside the popular magazine, according to NY Daily News.
Editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani told Women’s Wear Daily in a recent interview, “We help them [plus-size women] dress fashionably. We say: It’s pointless for you to buy leggings, take this because this will look good on you. We help them choose. Why should these women slim down? Many of the women who have a few extra kilos are especially beautiful and also more feminine.”
Sozzani launched online only website Vogue Curvy in February which features style tips and trends, beauty and women of all shapes, sizes and colors. She told Women’s Wear Daily, “we have pages nobody else has, such as “Curvy,” “Talents,” “Black.” And now we have added “Photo,” where you can upload your photos and build up a portfolio, which helps those who don’t have an agent yet.”
The site also features The Curvy Blog, which highlights fashion news and events related to those with curves. Sozzani is currently taking a stand against websites and blogs that she believes advocate anorexia. You can sign the petition against pro-anorexia websites at vogue.it.
