Italian Vogue and the Three Plump Graces

It can be done after all: editor Franca Sozzani has honoured plus-sized women with the cover story and photo of Vogue Italia, June 2011.

On the front of the magazine the three models — Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley — are posed in lingerie around a restaurant table, in black and white, against a blurry white and silver backdrop of a waitress and other figures, walls and natural light.

It is a part of the editor's campaign against pro-anorexia websites and the fixation on slenderness which European and American society pursue.
