Crystal Renn For Paper Planes Fall/Winter 2010

Sarah Conley — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 19:56:05 EST

There is so much to say about Crystal Renn. In a way, she's become the barometer for how the fashion industry feels about the realm of plus size - from her numerous campaigns to walking some of the world's most high profile runways, she's come a long way since her Lane Bryant campaigns. After an initial heath scare due to extreme weight loss early in her career and bouncing back to a healthy size 12, Crystal has triggered comments, concerns and even outrage over her current size.

Photographer Derek Kettela shot the controversial model for Paper Planes F/W 2010 issue. Styled by Andreas Kokkino, the looks mix leopard, lace, leather, velvet and polka dots, creating a modern rock & roll feel with an undeniable nod to Grease. Whether you have strong feelings about her current weight, there is something about her that both the fashion industry and the public find captivating.

Do her weight struggles make her more relatable? Perhaps it's her ethnic ambiguity that makes her appealing to a wider audience? Whatever the reasons, she's already had a longer career than most models - and her profile only seems to be growing. View the full Paper Planes editorial in the gallery below. If you're a Crystal Renn fan, share your love for her in the comments below!

I admit I love Helena Bonham Carter & Tim Burton as a couple. Her cooky sense of style and his dark sense of humor blend into a seeminly perfect couple. I loved their collaborations on Corpse Bride, Sweeny Todd, and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. It is such a delight to seem them glammed up in the pages of Vogue that I had to share it with you.

What is your favorite Bonham Carter/Burton collaboration?
