The majority of people in this world will never be as thin as they\u2019ve been warped into believing they need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Renn, who is currently starring in Chanel\u2019s newest campaign, told Fashionista: \u201cI think the fashion industry is changing and is more open to a new ideal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about a personality and a moment captured&#8230;it\u2019s not about body size it\u2019s about talent and effort\u2026I hope the industry sees this [Chanel campaign] as an example of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pring said of Renn: \u201cCrystal\u2019s been promoting a message that is so positive and beneficial to our society: health. It doesn\u2019t matter what size you are, just be healthy. You can be a size 2 and be far less healthy than a person that is a size 14. There is no right or wrong size if you\u2019re healthy and fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/become-a-model\/women\/looks-types\/\" target=\"_blank\">model\u2019s size<\/a>, we at Talent Management respect our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/help-advice\/modelling-tips\/successful-model-qualities\/:\" target=\"_blank\">models for their abilities<\/a> and talents, and hope that the fashion industry follows suit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top models, including Crystal Renn and Marquita Pring, have triggered huge debate around body size in the modelling world of late. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,156,54,69,7],"tags":[718,717,716,682,348],"class_list":["post-1607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-beauty","category-diet-2","category-fashion","category-health-and-fitness","category-models","tag-body-image","tag-body-types","tag-crystal-renn","tag-marquita-pring","tag-plus-size-models"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Talent Management Asks Why Is The World Fixated By Body Size?
