Vogue Italia uses three plus size models on cover

Vogue Italia editor has started a campaign against eating disorders Italy  - Arabstoday It\'s not unusual for fashion magazines to employ the odd plus-size model for an editorial spread. But Vogue Italia went one step further, featuring not one but three curvy beauties on their July issue \'Real Beauties\' cover.
The move comes as editor Franca Sozzani continues to campaign against pro-anorexia websites.

And rather than hide their figures in floaty dresses, or cut them off at the waist, Steven Meisel\'s pictures proudly features Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley in their underwear.

Sozzani  said: \'Curvy women are back in all their splendour.

\'The exuberance of a body with rounded lines is much more alluring and sexy.\'

She added: \'A growing number of readers are now asking to see – even in fashion magazines – a real world, made of real people who are not obsessed with staying thin, but are able instead to naturally accept and respect their bodies as they are.\'

The editor has been busy collecting signatures for a petition to shut down websites encouraging eating disorders.

She said: \'Fashion has always been blamed as one of the culprits of anorexia, and our commitment is the proof that fashion is ready to get on the frontline and struggle against the disorder.\'

Sozzani has also promised to feature more plus-sized models in the future.
She said: \'Why should these women slim down?

\'Many of the women who have a few extra kilos are especially beautiful and also more feminine.\'

Tara has been making a name for herself, starring in H&M\'s Big is Beautiful campaign and has appeared in in Elle, V magazine and Glamour.

The last time a plus-size model featured on the cover of Vogue was Sophie

Dahl - before she dropped 15lbs from a size 14.
