The Twitterati are buzzing with news around tomorrow’s Chanel Resort 2011 show in St. Tropez. Fashionologie reports that according to Lisa Tant, editor-in-chief of Canadian fashion pub Flare, the show’s models include both Georgia May Jagger and Crystal Renn.

We’re not surprised by either choice. Georgia May is a fashion darling, Crystal is a global darling, and they’re both undeniably gorgeous.

But here’s what we’re really thinking about:

Could the inclusion of a size 10 model in a Chanel show be an indication of real change in the industry?

We’d like to think so. Lagerfeld isn’t the type to jump on a bandwagon so long after its initial arrival. Renn’s been posing regularly in high fashion spreads for years–her industry presence is inarguably more than a fad.

Here’s hoping that by next year at this time, the idea of a model larger than a size 0 walking a runway show won’t be news.

I can't wait to see the Chanel collection and would love to see a normal size girl in a Chanel show of all things! Change is good!

Crystal is NOT a size 10. Why can't anyone believe their own eyes instead of a printed number on a page? Here you go: Crystal Renn standing next to a girl who is a US size 16. There is no retouching!

Yesssssssssssss for your innovation and vision, Father Karl! We love you!!! Watch a true trendsetter make history!

Crystal Renn is the only obese person that mine eyes can tolerate…!

Although I imagine a Chanel muumuu with many yards of fabric. But how much shall such a garment (if you can call it such) cost?

Ah, no matter…Master Karl will devise an innovative way to camoflage her ample body and numerous folds of excess skin. I look forward to his creations!

Viva la Lagerfeld!!!

So interesting to see Crystal in different contexts… She looked much bigger than Jacqueline Jablonski in V but looks like Jacqueline compared to Tara Lynn.

obese? oh ian!!!!

(i noted the sarcasm)

Ahhh Rachel….

*sigh*

The tragedy of my life…t'is a burden to be blessed with such comedic genius.
