Straight vs. Plus Sized


In the industry, plus-sized models are defined as anything over a size six--which, for a 5 foot, 8 inch model, [5'8'' is the average height in the American industry] puts the BMI just over 16. Starvation. The next edition of V Magazine, however, features a smattering of healthy-looking models posing next to their tiny counterparts. Our favorite Crystal Renn and Jacquelyn Lablonski duke it out in tribal-themed attire, putting their own spin on fashion. Also featured: Lizzie Miller, Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine, Michelle Olson and Marquita Pring.

  1. How would a size 6 be a 16BMI? I'm 5'9" and a size 3, and my BMI is 19.
