Daisy Lowe Calls Karl Lagerfeld Out in Asos Magazine: "Fashion Needs More Curves"
Daisy Lowe and her adorable curves are giving me everything I need on the cover of Asos Magazine! I need those jeans to survive!!
Inside, she offers some poignant commentary about the fashion industry's love/hate relationship with curves. On Karl Lagerfeld and Crystal Renn, she says: "My friend was working with Crystal Renn and said she thinks she’s only got a 38-inch hip. Karl Lagerfeld said he was going to embrace her womanly shape and then he just put her face on the ad campaign."
I applaud her for speaking out because I was totes thinking the same thing. Since Crystal Renn was chosen as the curvy model muse du jour, it seems said curves have disappeared.
Check out her book cover and her walking in Chanel: where'd her body go? I'm all for dieting and slimming down as one sees fit, but I hate to think she did it to get more work in the modeling industry, especially since designers claimed to love her for her womanly shape.
Do you think Lowe has a point in regard to her face only appearing in Karl's ads? Do you think the designer, who infamously shunned curves, is really embracing womanly figures like he claims?
Discuss, and check out the rest of Lowe's shoot for Asos below:

25 Hottest Holiday Shoes on a Budget (Starting at $32!)
A wonderful friend of mine asked me to choose between my Christian Louboutin pumps and men the other day. My response? "Men are replaceable. My Christian Louboutin anemone satin bow pumps, however, are not." Harsh, maybe, but there's something magical and irresistibly sexy about a special pair of shoes. And for the record, I'll totally take the man AND the pumps, so all of the above was a more appropriate answer.
A pair of shoes like my beloved satin bow pumps should only make appearances during special occasions. And what's more spectacular than holiday parties for them to make their debut?
Yes girls, the holiday season is the perfect time to indulge your craving for a pair of delectable shoes. And I've found 25 gorgeous pairs for the Glamazon on a budget (starting at $32)! Shop them below.
And lest you want a shoeicide*, opt for these inserts so you don't mind being on your feet all night long. Oh and you're going to want to pick up these glamazing new Dr. Scholl's Fast Flats! After the club, it's torture making that walk from the venue to the car/cab/train while it feels like someone is stabbing you in the sole of your foot and your toes are numb. Pack these fast flats in your purse to throw on at the end of the night and problem solved. Your feet will thank you!
