Vogue Curvy!

Vogue Italia Cover Features Three Plus-Size Models By William Lee Adams Ahead of the curve: Plus-size models Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley grace the cover of Vogue Italia's June 2011 edition. Vogue Italia has thrown the fashion world a major curveball — by placing three plus-size models on its June 2011 cover. The decision to shoot models Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley isn’t a mere publicity stunt. It builds on efforts by the magazine’s audacious editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani to highlight the beauty of women with a bit of meat on their bones. In February Sozzani launched the website Vogue Curvy, which offers style tips to women who aren’t a size zero, and praises style “curvy icons” like Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey who exude elegance in larger sizes. She’s also launched a campaign to shut down web sites that promote anorexia.
