V Magazine Says "One Size Fits All": But Does It?

by Sydne Summer



We just received a sneak peek of V Magazine's "One Size Fits All" editorial shot by Terry Richardson. "The Size Issue," which hits newsstands Jan. 14, features plus-size model and author of Hungry Crystal Renn (right) alongside Jacquelyn Jablonski (left), a more traditionally sized model.

The concept that fashion can flatter every figure is commendable—if every figure was truly represented. In 2004, Size USA determined that women's median height was 5'4" and 38-32-41 were the average measurements for white women between the ages of 18 and 25. At 5'9" with 38-31-41 measurements, V's "plus-size" model is thinner than the American standard.

Instead of celebrating women of all sizes, the above photo simply reminds us of the time Kim Kardashian was airbrushed for Complex....



Back in March, the magazine accidentally published an un-Photoshopped picture of Kim (left) on its website before replacing it with an airbrushed shot (right). The then-curvy reality star defended her cellulite in her blog—before adding that she had slimmed down since the shoot. Now she's tinier than ever.
