Of course- the interesting part is that Lara Stone, on Wikipedia, is only a size 4... which looking at pictures makes sense. A 34in bust on someone who is close to 5'10" is not a size 8. Just another fine example of media skewing the facts...Miuccia Prada, one of the most-watched trendsetters in the fashion world, has signalled a move to curvier models by choosing a busty mannequin to parade a new sweater on the Milan runway where before she had stuck almost exclusively to stick-thin girls. Experts are predicting that Prada’s lead will be followed in Paris this week by designers responding to health concerns sparked by the deaths of three South American “size zero” models and their influence on young girls.
Lara Stone, a size 8 Dutch model with a 34in bust, was cast last week by Prada to model a fine-knit but virtually see-through top to show off her breasts. “The casting was personal to her,” said the designer’s spokeswoman in Milan.
Another model being used (not by Prada) - The Sunday Times Style magazine gives Keeley Hazell, whose gravity-defying 32E breasts have made her Britain’s leading glamour model, her first fashion shoot. Hazell, 21, a size 8 from Lewisham, south London, said: “I love being able to tuck into pie and mash. I love food and couldn’t bear the thought of missing it just to promote a pair of Prada trousers.” She added: “Guys always tell me they prefer a girl with curves because it’s more natural and womanly. Generally, most guys don’t like girls who look anorexic.
I put in the second bit because who can have "gravity defying" size E breasts... oh, perhaps they are fake... genius.
