Sure, I choose very feminine women with little breast and straight hips. However, there are other designers out there who like to provoke, who like to make a show so they get talked about.” Armani’s comments come in the wake of the annoucement by the organisers of Rome Fashion Week, that will take place in January, that they are demanding to see “good health” certificates from all the models taking part. vogue.com

I like it! I think it’s time we evolve beyond “Twiggy” and start seeing some REAL women up there! I’ve updated the Uptown Girls Poll to the right – you’ll see this weeks poll question:

Curvier Models on the Runway – Yay or Nay?

Your options are:

Absolutely Yes! About Damn Time!
Noway – I like stick figures modeling clothing!
I don’t really care
