Crystal Renn is a plus size model who is turning the fashion world on its head!
I keep hearing about this voluptuous beauty and seeing her being interviewed and after hearing her story, I can see why. She began modeling at the age of 14 after being scouted at an etiquette school and was immediately told she needed to loose 9 inches around her hips...which was 75 pounds! So within one year, this little girl lost the weight by exercising everyday and eating only lettuce and come veggies... Soon after that, she began loosing her hair, having dizzy spells and literally could not walk. Anorexia had taken over her life. So she had to make the choice to give up her dreams of modeling and start eating again. Ironically, when she reached her personal healthy body size of a size 12, her modeling career began to take off and today she is the top plus size model in the industry. WOW. Her story is fascinating and I think literally breaths a sigh of relief for plus size models everywhere, let alone the average north American women, who by the way is a size 14.
Crystal has been shooting for Vogue, Elle and loads of other mags...and recently opened and closed a fashion show for Jean Paul Gauthier.
Here is a link to her story by fashion television on you tube. I was not able to embed the video but its worth checking out. Also, see her images below...
