14 years ago
Issue 63 of V Magazine will celebrate women of all shapes and sizes, including plus-size, and sneak peek of their One Size Fits All editorial has been released.
Photographed by Terry Richardson, the story features Crystal Renn posing alongside Jacquelyn Jablonski. Renn is one of the world’s best-known plus-size models and recently penned a memoir, Hungry, on her experiences as a plus-sized model.
Renn and Jablonski are photographed alongside each other, striking similar poses and wearing identical outfits from designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Proenza Schouler and Ralph Lauren. In their quest to prove that fashion can flatter any and every figure, V Magazine released the measurements of Renn and Jablonski; both girls stand at the same height, with Renn measuring at 36-31-41 and Jablonski at 32.24.34.
The Leopard Print Coat
14 years ago
One of this season’s hottest takes on outerwear comes in the form of lovely leopard print coats. Easily paired with a classic all-black ensemble, leopard print coats are definitely for the girls that want to make a statement with their cool weather attire. This is why fashion-forward celebrities like Nicky Hilton, Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Moss and Alexa Chung have been seen in the cozy trend.
Traditionally a symbol of luxury, sexiness and glamour, the leopard print coat is also popular because of its surprising versatility. It works well with casual ensembles for a day of shopping, like Nicky’s coat, but also packs enough glamour for a special night out, complete with cat-eye makeup like Kate Moss.
Get one for yourself:
Pencey High Collar Leopard Jacket $385
Alice + Olivia Shawl Collar Faux Fur Jacket $385
Lucky Brand’s Leopard Faux Fur Coat $199

Lovers of girly party dresses, leggings, tops, etc. will appreciate this news tidbit: Alice + Olivia has finally launched an eCommerce site. The brand has long been available from other online retailers, but its about time they get their own site. And while the site still have a few kinks to work out, I am very impressed that they were able to get this launched before holiday – now lets hope they can ship orders placed before Christmas!
The site includes live blog by designer Stacey Bendet. If you’re still looking for a holiday party dress, I suggest checking out what A+O has to offer.
