Elle's April issue featuring a twenty page spread on plus size fashion comes a month after Italian Vogue launched an online section called "Vogue Curvy" dedicated to fashion and beauty for non-size 34 women. So French and Italian women can be young, fat and fabulous. Gotcha.
I love that French Elle is challenging the national stereotype of the slender, chic Parisian woman... but wouldn't it have made more of a statement if the model on the cover were actually French instead of American? I personally feel that this issue is a gimmick and not a lasting trend in an industry. And it works. Afterall, I'm talking about it aren't I?

How is this woman "fat"? She has a well-defined waist, a stomach that is flatter than that of some "thin" women I know, and appears to be rather well-toned. Personally I love the photos.
I'm more disturbed by the white jumpsuit than her size.
I agree with the first comment! This woman is in NO way fat. She is gorgeous! (and that is coming from a size 2 woman)
i'm sorry guys but for the fashion industry, she is fat as hell.
she's fucking hot. i would do her in a minute. hah(:
