Evans' New Ad Campaign Stars Plus-Size Models in Vogue-Inspired Shoot

How do you follow-up a bold campaign starring signer Beth Ditto?

If you are Love Magazine, you slap a nude photo of Lara Stone on the cover. But if you're British plus-size fashion brand Evans, you round up a who's who of the most notable plus-size models in the industry for a classy, Vogue-inspired campaign.

The latest 2010 campaign for Evans -- which caters to sizes 14 to 32 -- takes its inspiration from Peter Lindbergh's 1990 cover for Vogue, featuring a supermodel jackpot of Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz, the retailer told StyleList.

Twenty years on, Evans' updated version stars a cluster of curvy beauties -- Britney Vecchio, Hayley Morley (of Mark Fast catwalk fame), Crystal Renn (the face of the brand), Amber Tolliver and Peeky -- in a clean, simple shot that the brand calls "aspirational yet accessible."

"These supermodels of the 'plus' industry are making you forget their size," Gary Dakin, vice-president of Ford Models, said in a press release.

"It is women like these that are going to knock down the final barriers, showing that they are some of the best at what they do by modeling for some of the key opinion formers and brands within the fashion world."

Hear hear. We love the simple, sophisticated aesthetic, with the girls looking gorgeous in jeans, white tees and on-trend fitted tuxedo, military and leather jackets.

Did we tell you it was the Year of the Curvy Girl or what?

And check out V Magazine's plus-size burlesque shoot, courtesy of Karl Lagerfeld.

First off, this is a very boring, blah ad. They all look alike! Secondly, these women are not very "plus" size, they look pretty average to me. Having said that, I would much rather see thin women who can wear fitted clothing, not these women with baggy saggy fashions. Yuck.

1. These are model world "plus-sized" models not real world. In the real world these women are normal. 2. Skinny models are wearing these exact same outfits in magazines. 3. I'm pretty sure the skinny jeans/leggings these models are wearing couldn't be more fitted if they tried. So i'm not sure how they look any different. 4. I like this look and because its on a normal looking body rather than the typical skinny models, I can see how these outfits would look on me and i like what i see. Thanks

I think the criticism this is getting is kind of silliness. It is undermining what is trying to be done here. These are not aneorexic or stick thin models. They are by no means obese either.They are healthy and beautiful everyday women. I feel that this is just the way it should be. There doesnt need to be an extreme represented, either extremely thin or extremely heavy. I think these women are perfect as far as displaying a picture of health and very aesthetically pleasing. Kudos to this revolution. It certainly has my full support and its been a long time coming. Lets not completely down-play the wonderful thing that is happening here.
