We put together nine nostalgic gift ideas that will be sure to please anyone.
Belle Vere. Plus Size Models Grace Vogue Italia: The Shots
The Plus Size Fashion cover heard round the world.
Last week, the cover of Vogue Italia hit the internet and quickly the world took notice of Candice Huffine, Tara Lynn & Robyn Lawley shot by the illustrious Steven Meisel in a very sensual spread that would have BOTH the boys and the girls wagging their tails.
For as long as I can remember, I have not seen a plus model cover Vogue in any country… and for not one but three to grace the cover- well…
Plus Size Models Grace Vogue Italia
WOOT!
I love the sensuality about this shoot. Showing the world how plus size is beautiful, sexy, and how it can be just as fabulous as any other size model… this I love.
Side Note:
I think that the more that they incorporate plus size models into mainstream shoots, the more that we can see and become open to size diversity within fashion magazines. HOWEVER- yet again, this cover was done overseas- still begging the question- Curves in the US? (A must read if you haven’t already!)
I imagine that One Day, Elle, Marie Claire, Lucky, Vogue, Ebony, Essence, or even Cosmopolitan would DARE to feature these US and Australian plus size models on their covers IN THE US.
A girl can dream and aspire yes? I mean this IS why I blog! To show YOU, the curvy Fashionista that YOU are BEAUTIFUL and that your curves, rolls, ample thighs, and rotund derriere is a thing of beauty!
Back to the topic at hand…
Please enjoy these images of INCLUDING Marquita Pring who did not make the cover- YET was featured in this shoot!

I absolutely love this cover. The inside shots I’m not overly impressed by but the ladies are beyond gorgeous. Its time the US saw our curves as beautiful and sexy instead of thinking its too much and has to be sensored.
I can only give the UK & other countries some credit though. The last plus model featured on Vogue Italia was on 2007 & 2002 with Sophia Dahl. Its only been recently that they’ve really begun to feature black models.
But we’ve gotta start somewhere right.
Somehwere is the key!!!

Thank you , thank you! finally plus size women. When I saw your ad, it brought tears to my eyes. I’m so tired of seeing size 1, fake boobs girls. I’m 41yrs and a size 12 with curves. If only i can take beautiful sexy pictures like your beautiful models, that would be the light for me. Thank you again.
Those are just some amazing women and photos! I think more people need to display plus size women as sex and not suffering. Belle Vere did something great with these already beautiful women.
