Looks like those fan covers I used to make on Photoshop CS3 when I was 14...
Who is she?
What’s this?
I think it's hilarious that Vogue Paris's way of embracing "Vogue Values" is by putting someone who 95% of people would consider thin or at least of standard model proportions on their cover and calling her a "body positive figure" who "redefines the standards of beauty." Or maybe it's just the way they Photoshopped her? Anyway, apparently Vogue Paris's concept of promoting awareness and embracing body positivity is by including a new face who isn't at least a size 2 on their cover, and the paradox amuses me. They may as well have featured Lara Stone on the cover and called it the "Body Diversity Issue."
It’s France my dear. She has a normal curvy body but this is considered « plus size » here. There’s also a small body positivity movement here and there are women that are bigger than this girl or even than Ashley Graham (to name someone famous) but being big is not culturally celebrated here. It’s mostly linked with bad health...
It would be culturally innacurate to put a curvy model by US standards in a French magazine where it won’t be well received...
She might be different from the usual fashion standards but it doesn't show on the cover. That's a pity, especially when the title states "different".
I don't even mind the cut and pink background at this point. The representation is just wrong and I feel like it's a missed opportunity.
As it should be everywhere.It’s France my dear. She has a normal curvy body but this is considered « plus size » here.
