The gorgeous Candince Huffine talks to Damien Neva of Ford Models blog, about her Vogue Italia 2011 cover shoot with Steven Meisel. I love Candice's passion for plus-size modelling, and I find this video incredibly inspirational, because Candice (along with Tara Lynn, Marquita Pring, Robyn Lawley, and many more) are breaking the fashion industry's narrow moulding, of what a model should look like. These women prove, that you don't have to be a size 0 to be a successful model! I hope that other magazines follow suit, and start promoting a new 'curvier' body image, in a positive matter, because it's time for a revolution; a curvy revolution!

Vogue Italia & Curvy Models....
Vogue Italia has decided to break the standard moulding of the fashion industry, and used plus-sized models Candice Huffine, Tara Lynn, and Robyn Lawley on the cover for their June issue, signed by renowned photographer Steven Meisel.
The black and white editorial spread featuring, Marquita Pring, Tara Lynn, Robyn Lawley, and Candice Huffine, is reminiscent of the 1960's Italian cinema glamour. The beautiful models, are oozing sex appeal and sensuality, while showing off their curves in lingerie. This spread, is a direct response to the fight against pro-anorexia websites.
This is the first time, plus-size models have been on the cover since Sophie Dahl. It's refreshing to see curvy women, in Vogue, because they represent the 'every day' woman. Not only are these women naturally beautiful, but they exude confidence, and are comfortable within in their skin, and I think that is an important message that needs to be publicised and promoted.
The message : Curves are Sexy.
Brava, Vogue Italia!

Jean Paul Gaultier, I adore you....
It remains to be seen, whether Jean Paul Gaultier used Beth Ditto and plus-models Crystal Renn & Marquita Pring as gimmicks or as true diversity, that the fashion industry desperately needs...
But nonetheless, I'm happy to see Beth Ditto strut her stuff on the runway, she is someone I can relate to, because I am her size, so gimmicks or not Jean Paul Gaultier gets thumbs up from me.
"Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than being 'vindictive', 'jealous', shallow, 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? Not to me." - J.K. Rowling
Marquita Pring looking fierce
“ Weight isn’t important the way the magazines make you think it is. I know a girl who just looks at her face in the medicine cabinet mirror & never looks below her shoulders, and she’s four or five hundred pounds but she doesn’t see all that, she just sees a beautiful face & therefore she thinks she’s a beauty. And therefore I think she’s a beauty too, because I usually accept people on the basis of their self-images, because their self-images have more to do with the way they think than their objective-images do. Maybe she’s six hundred pounds, who knows. If she doesn’t care, I don’t.”
- Andy Warhol
