Curves Are In

Finally, there is a designer brave enough to feature models who are bigger than your average catwalk model.

Mark Fast, a Canadian designer, put his knit designs on models who ranged from size 12-14 in his show for London Fashion Week.

The international world of fashion is abuzz over Mark Fast's concept of what size model is acceptable on the catwalk.

One report said it sparked a behind-the-scenes row that ended with Fast's stylist walking out on his show because of the new look. But the designer has now apologies for making room for regular women with serious curves, reported CBC News.

"I think it's time really, there's such beauty out there and it's unfortunate that it's only representative in one size...so it's just a new celebration of all women," said Fast.

The model in the picture above is a size 12 and I think she looks fabulous!

Pulling a Fast one.

Spotlight for my virgin post as a CHAOS mag blogger falls on knitwear extraordinaire Mark Fast. The 28 year old Canadian studied at knitwear at world renowned Central Saint Martins College, London for 5 years; showing his critically acclaimed MA collection February 2008.

The capsule collection comprised of taut, tight bandage knits with strategic cutouts in inky black, barely nude and a delicious burnt ember in shapes reminiscent of cling king Azzedine Alaia. Fast's girls followed the distinct "rock chick" feel of the show with slicked back sweat soaked hair, coal smudged eyes and matte coral lips, pairing their barely there wispy knits with heavy set ankle boots.

His debut collection was snapped up by Joan Burnstein (owner of Browns London and she who bought McQueen's entire first collection) and his name was the buzz word on everyone's LFW lips, this golden boy looks a sure fire bet to shine; with his fit to touch frocks so perfectly of the moment. I definitely want to be a Fast girl, do you?
