Crystal Renn is arguably the most well-known plus-size model right now. Of course, we all know by now what the fashion industry considers "plus".

In our opinion, it has to be a step forward when a mainstream publication gives several pages to an article featuring pictures of a lovely model without having to apologize (or worse, pat themselves on the back) for her measurements. But fashion politics aside (or maybe not!), what do you think of the pictures?!
