The Guardian reports:

Curvy, moi? Lara Stone, a size 8 model in demand

10 July 2009

After years of size-zero models ruling the runway, the fashion world may finally be turning towards a more inclusive body shape.

At Paris fashion week, model Lara Stone was the girl to watch. Booked to close the Chanel show, she also featured on the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier and Givenchy. With a sizeable gap between her front teeth and bleached eyebrows, the Dutch model doesn't fit the typical cover-girl mould. But it's her Bardot-esque body that had everyone talking.

She's not curvy in the ordinary sense – a UK size 8 – but curvy in fashion model terms, where many girls are size zero-2. The 25-year-old harks back to the days of the "supers" when models looked like women, not girls. As Stone's influence spreads, there are rumours she could turn the size-zero phenomenon on it's head. Paula Reed, Grazia's style director, said: "The modelling ideal has been one of girlish frailty ever since the disappearance of the supermodels ... Lara's curves are a perfect expression of that new power."

The size-zero debate was reignited last month, when Alexandra Shulman, editor of British Vogue, wrote an open letter to major designers stating: "We have now reached the point where many of the sample sizes don't comfortably fit even the most established star models."

Discovered three and a half years ago by designer Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, Stone has already graced the cover of Vogue Paris four times. In an interview last year, she said: "I think it would be nice if I wasn't the only person with t*ts and an ****, but I am ... I don't think I'm starting a trend."

Perhaps, as Shulman suggests, it is a small change, but any step towards a more varied aesthetic ideal, and one unashamedly more womanly, should be applauded.

[Moofins]

Either that is a hint at something in the future (!) or a typo.

Yes- glad you said that...I thought maybe the world was coming to an end...Something like a popular Size 8 (US) model could drive Anna Wintour to drink...

I only support Lara because she is a size 8, she and Hilary Rhoda should lead the fashion!!
