We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I don't hitnk it makes them look fat, but it's certainly not flattering.

And if it's "not flattering" on someone of a typical runway model size it's gonna be downright brutal on most of us. lol

Think about how skinny those models really are...and then look at their hips in those pictures.

Fat for them, yes.

For me, what it does to their legs is even worse. It's not just shrubbery; it's frumpy shrubbery. Frubbery.

Yuck.

Y'know what else? He totally owes André an apology for his nasty comments on the moss dress André was auf-ed for on Project Runway a few season ago. disbelief

They don't. Anyone over a size probably 8 will.

Size 8 is extremely generous, I think.

Why not just put white keds on her?

At least you could accessorize on a shoestring budget.

Me too! I would never wear such an ugly skirt. I love MK, but this skirt is awful. It's too bad that that some people think this girl looks fat. I don't see it at all.

I'm 47 and weigh 152 lbs. I wear a size 10 and don't consider myself to be fat or overweight in any way. If others disagree, fuck em! I'm comfortable with my body.

the combination of shirt & skirt on the first model is hideous!

why do i love the second look so much though? I think a fuller woman (say Christina Hendricks) would look so hot in it.

I know I'll be touching her (skirt) inappropriately all day long!

Okay. This is not a fucking body image thread. rolleyes

The skirts make those uber-skinny models look much larger than they really are. That is the point. Period.

I think you actually need the hips- they look like the wings that will make the magic carpet fly away

This could totally become its own blog. It would be updated a lot more frequently than that Snuggie mess. Especially if a team-blog. hmmm lol
