Fast & Fantastic
By Britt Aboutaleb Saturday, Sep 19, 2009 / 8:29 AM
The thing about Mark Fast’s dresses is they’re so tight, body-con doesn’t even cut it.
His brilliant knits cling to the body, which make you think, “I absolutely love it, but there’s no way I could appropriately wear that.” Except of course until you see them on a handful of plus-size models and they look even better than they did on the sticks that wore them last season.
For SS10 they come both long and short, they come layered with bejeweled body jewelry and and leather petal skirts in nude and black and cotton candy pink and blue; they come in fisherman knit and with perfectly executed slashes or round silver studs and no matter what size you are, they’ll look amazing, which is probably why the crowd cheered louder than I’ve heard in a very long time

size 8 is NOT plus sized…(and i know its modeling, but we wonder why girls are so screwed up…)
Ok, these dresses look amazing, and I would definitely rock one, but do they stretch easily? I find that knit dress always stretch out so quickly. I imagine that a tight one would lose its form and not look so great after 30 mins of wear.
well i’m not sure exactly what dress size they are. when i think plus size models i think bigger than these girls – they were just tall with proper tits & asses – but i didn’t know what else to call them. am i missing some in between terminology?
also, as an update, even though i loved them, most of london didn’t. in case anyone’s wondering about the reaction…
how the fuck is that considered plus size?
thats not even size 8…they look my size, and im a zero.
#4 that pull image is a regular model. here’s a better view in case my photos are misleading. http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2010RTW-MFAST
okay that look more like what i would call plus size.
the whole stick thin vs. plus size thing just makes me kinda sick though.
