Mark Fast controversy - bigger sized models, would you be against or for it?



Telegraph in Sept 2009 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/london-fashion-week/6214027/London-Fashion-Week-Stylist-walks-out-as-Mark-Fast-uses-size-14-models.html

"Designer Fast, known for his tight knitted dresses used both slender and curvier women for his show. He included three plus size models from the agency 12+ UK- Hayley Morley, 21, a size 12, Laura Catterall, 20, a size 14, and Gwyneth Harrison, 25, a size 12-14.
Amanda May, managing director for the Canadian designer said there were “creative differences with regards to the casting of those girls. There was a team change and we’re glad we stuck to our vision.”

I personally like it that knitted tight clothes are presented on curvy women and they look great. These women still look slim to me so this shows how real models are so much slimmer then your average person. This should in my mind be the way forward and encouraging example for other designers.
