Usually the designer has an idea of what he wants to show, picks his models, and then creates the piece based specifically on that one model. That's why they go ape-shit when a model can't make it. That particular piece usually does not make it onto the runway.<BR/><BR/>I don't necessarily agree with how he used the model, but I understand why. With the big furor about skinny models, who unrealistically are emulated by young girls, the public wants them banned. It then becomes subjective. What is "skinny"? What is "fat"? There's no doubt that the main objective to a show is to sell the clothes and the best way to sell the clothes is on a walking hanger. If kids are trying to look like the model, then the designers don't care b/c they figure those are the people who missed the point of the show. It's not to show off the bodies (unless it's Victoria's Secret), it's to show off the clothes.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864339996118337420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-1160053761631631992006-10-05T08:09:00.000-05:002006-10-05T08:09:00.000-05:00I thought to put it and forgot - I used safe for w...I thought to put it and forgot - I used safe for work pics of Dita. The first link is a bio that is interesting.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I can consider with the sizing is that designer sizing runs large compared to off the rack. You know why? A pattern is made, then in order to use less cloth, the pattern is crumpled/wrinkled, thus made smaller when spread back out. Makes no sense to me, but I am clueless about the sophisticated nuances of business.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622985406269216862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-1160053308216827412006-10-05T08:01:00.000-05:002006-10-05T08:01:00.000-05:00At work, so I didn't click on all the links.

Tacky IMHO.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I am 5'-6", weigh 225, and I wear a size 20. My mom is 5'-2", is pushing 300 lbs, and wears a size 26-28.
