Gaultier swaps Size O models for 'Size 20'

[slartibartfast]

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.

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.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was an attempt to "give the public what they want" in a bit of a reverse psychology. After seeing that, I can imagine a whole host of fashionistas screaming "bring back the stick insects!"

I doubt it, sounds too intelligent for fashion designers. I'd put it down to a complete misunderstanding on their part as to why there have been calls for unhealthily thin models not to be put on the catwalk.

She proved that it isn't.
