FRENCH ELLE GOES FOR A PLUS-SIZE MODEL ON THE COVER

Elle is not the first magazine to portray curvy models lately but it is the first one to do it on a cover.

Latest French Elle's issue portrays Tara Lynn - plus-size model - on its cover and develop a section focused on the model as a symbol of the new curvy, real ideal. Some see this as an special action, others as a development of the emerging trend but we can say it certainly is a big step in portraying chic as an attitude plus outfit, not a collection of bones.
