Barcelona based fashion retailer Mango have employed the services of American model Crystal Renn to promote its autumn/winter collection, 19-year-old Crystal is 175cm tall and weighs 75kg a size 16.
Mango’s new campaign is called “Why not?” and represents an extending of the size range.
A Mango press release stated:
“Mango presents clothes for women with curves. The Spanish firm has decided to adapt its sizes to suit every type of woman.
“The brand’s aim with this initiative is to remind us that fashion is not just for the very thin figures usual for models, but rather that it belongs to everyone and that every woman can wear it. Mango clothes are designed to turn the woman on the street into a catwalk model, wearing its latest trends.
“Without the tiny measurements normally demanded of catwalk models, Renn reveals herself to be a modern woman who feels beautiful and knows how to make the most of what she has, wearing the latest trends. With this in mind, Mango has chosen to extend its sizes to range from 34 (UK 6) to 46 (UK 18), confirming that fashion can adapt to all shapes and sizes”.
This move by Mango continues the growing trend of bringing fashion to the real world where size 14 / 16 is normal and not considered obese, after all throughout history beautiful women have had curves, 60’s star Marilyn Monroe was a size 16.
