Prada Replaces Skinny Models With Victoria's Secret Angels!
Breaking News!
Just heard that the big wigs at the Prada design house in Milan fired many off the toothpick-thin models that were originally booked for their fall 2010 fashion show, which is being held at this moment in Milan on Feb. 25th.
Shockingly, for the skinny-obsessed fashion world, they were replaced by more voluptuous Victoria's Secret models, who actually have at least a little meat on their bones.
My source is telling me that the big revolutionary moment occurred last night during fittings for the highly regarded trend-setting fashion collection.
She reports that a casting director suddenly threw up his hands, said "F- it!" and ordered that sexy Victoria's Secret Angel models, Miranda Kerr (girlfriend of Orlando Bloom), Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes and Isabeli Fontana airlifted in for today's 1 pm EST show.
Word has it that the revolutionary decision came after the uproar over the pin-thin models at New York Fashion Week, and the criticism over the skinnies on the runway at Prada in past seasons.
As someone who was the editor-in-chief of fashion magazines Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and Marie Claire, I can assure you that this emergency move could have earth-shatteringly positive consequences. In other words, we can expect that after uber-trend setter Prada has made this revolutionary move to curvier girls, other design houses will fall quickly in line. It's great news for models - they can EAT again - and for real women with real shapes everywhere.
Furthermore, last night design company Elena Miro actually used regular size models - the kind that fashionistas call plus-size, and the rest of us describe as "normal."
So take a look at our pictures of Prada's skinnies last season versus their new curvy girls, and tell me which do you like better?
