Crystal Renn is walking for everybody!

Crystal Renn seems to have all but broken out of the ‘plus size’ niche and is rival for – and winning effort amongst all the other models top models who are in Paris. After her look in both Jean Paul Gaultier’s campaign and a one-off shoot for Chanel for A/W ’10, she has walked on both the above designers’ catwalks including for Zac Posen’s RTW – one she believe to be MAJOR.

In fact, despite the sound of a thousand non-skinny minnies calming her every success, the person who gets most thrilled about it is still Crystal herself, saying ‘This has been one of the most incredible times of my life.

Although Crystal has shrunk a size or two as she walked for JPG in 2006, she is still unlike from most of the girls at the castings,’ for her size, yet she is contending with them on her own virtues, not as a one-off gimmick.

From everybody Grazia Daily identifies who has worked with the lady, we hear that she is super-enthusiastic and a relentless worker, concerning the furthest away from the sulky princess character that people imagine supermodels to be.

Her crusade to build the catwalks more delegate is far from over, although she’s been delighted to see that; ‘when I first started, the girls were all fair-haired, all emaciated and unhappy looking,’ she says. Currently, there’s more ethnic diversity. The girls are not as skinny as earlier.

Florence Reasserts Itself as a Fashion City-State

CLUTCHING a bunch of long-stemmed flowers, Mark McNairy held them just beneath his belt buckle and gave a hired party photographer a leering grin.

A buttery sickle moon notched the dark sky above Chianti. The air at a classical Tuscan villa set high on a hill was perfumed with jasmine and with other more potent aromatics. A group of musicians imported from Puglia for the evening was running the crowd to a pitch, playing the music of the taranta, an ancient folk dance that ends in a dervish frenzy proposed to shake off the pain of living.

But Mr. McNairy was feeling no obvious pain. Neither was the 100 new guests invited to the Milky Pig party, given by Woolrich Woolen Mills during Pitti Uomo, the colossal men’s wear trade fair that twice yearly attracts flocks of fashion peacocks to this city.

That is why the Milky Pig party — and, in fact, Florence — is forever a hot spot on the circuit.

Few can be predictable to recall that a fashion cycle that seems so ingrained was not always as organized as it is now. New York used to come at the end of the show season, a boon for designers committed to the sincerest form of flattery. Milan followed New York.

And long before Milan became a fixture on the fashion calendar, shows in Italy were held in Rome. Florence ultimately stole Rome’s thunder; then Milan, in turn, swiped the shows from Florence. Now there is a move afoot to reinstate the primacy of this Renaissance city as the key destination for both fashion designers and buyers.
