Is This Another 'No' To Non-Skinny London Models?
At the London Fashion Week on Monday, a stylist was forced to deny she stormed out of a show because the designer was using larger-than-normal models.
Erika Kurihara told the Guardian newspaper that she left Saturday's show by up-and-coming knitwear designer Mark Fast because they "did not have the right walk for the catwalk" -- but said she had no problem with larger women.
Fast is known for his tight and revealing knitted dresses and has in the past provoked criticism that they would never fit normal women, making his decision to use three curvy women in his catwalk show unusual.
"I celebrate strong, healthy women," Kurihara told the newspaper.
She said: "Two of the bigger girls, although their faces were beautiful and their bodies beautiful, did not have the right walk for the catwalk. The walk is very important, and I wasn't happy.
"Mark was very upset that I didn't share his vision, as he saw it, so he asked me to leave."
Fast was unavailable for comment on Monday but the Canadian designer's managing director, Amanda May, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that there were "creative differences with regards to the casting of those girls".
"There was a team change and we're glad we stuck to our vision," she said, adding: "There's this idea that only thin and slender women are able to wear Mark's dresses and he wanted to combat that."
