Size zero is out - curves are back in

Here at Stylelist we try to make sure we do a good job of covering fashion for all sizes. We can't say that we were ever big fans of the super size zero trend because of the insane amount of pressure it puts on normal non-celeb women to be unhealthy in their quest for thinness. So, we're relieved to hear cries from the rooftops that size zero is back out and curves are back in!

The proof is in the pudding. Karl Lagerfeld was recently quoted after sending girls away from a casting because, "They looked as if they had grown up in a Third World country with no food to eat."

Before and after the size zero famine

  • Mary Kate Olsen: After
  • Nicole Richie: Before
  • Nicole Richie: After
  • Lindsay Lohan: Before

That is both cruel and unusual to demand such a ridiculous beauty ideal from models and then punish them if they take it too far -- yet we're still hoping this means the end of an anorexic era. Hopefully other designers will be kinder to the models in telling them to put on a few pounds.

Other signs that size zero is out -- Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and Mary Kate Olsen. All three of those girls were part of the brat pack that ushered the era in, and now they're back -- maybe not to normal, but at least back from the brink of death.

Nicole has been looking so much better since she broke her ties with Paris.

I highly doubt this... What do they mean by curves? a size 2// Curvy is a size 8-10... I hate these girls starve, if I starved I would be that thin too.

Do these girls actually have curves though, or do they just go to a surgeon and get whatever is in style?

Thanks Larry- Many young and older women of today are judged too harshly about their size. Time for the "Twiggy" types to retire and let the "normals" take over fashion !

I'm between a size 2/4. I used to be a size two, but I gained 9 lbs after I went to college. (Used to weigh 117, now I weigh 126, I'm 5'8). I find it weird that people think girls that are size 0,2 and 4 are skinny. I mean, I'm thin, but I have boobs and a butt and cellulite on my thighs and normal stuff like that. I like to think that I have curves, even if I'm not 'curvy' (Like Marilyn Monroe).

I couldn't agree more. I am pretty much the same size as you. I average between 115-125 and fit a size 2/4. Despite the fact of being perceived as a "stick figure" I can still fill out a bra and there's a nice round behind in all my jeans, while I still have a tiny waist. There is a full difference of 12 inches between my waist and hip measurements. If that's not curvy, I don't know what is! Oh and I have cellulite too!
