Photographer Nicholas Routzen captured plus-sized model Crystal Renn in photographs promoting the nonprofit ‘Fashion for Passion.’ While the photographs are, without a doubt, pretty-looking, people on the blogosphere have been speculating that Crystal Renn has lost weight. Again.
The difference in the model’s size could be due to photoshopping, or perhaps a personal decision to lose weight -- or it could be the pressures of upholding impossible beauty standards in the fashion industry. Let’s hope it’s not the former.
