Michele Beaurenaut styles a sensual, radiant Eva Herzigova in ‘Une Tope Solaire’, lensed by Nicolas Moore for Elle France’s January issue. Perhaps this is reverse Photoshop at work but Eva actually has a small amount — seriously, just a smidgen — of clavicle fat. Mon Dieu!!! How did this happen!

Eva’s 2010 appearance in Cannes allowed me to illustrate the downsizing of women for real, contrasting Eva 2010 (left) and Eva in the 90s (right). Helena may call me a ‘retard’ for my arguments that this is fashion misogyny at work, but the facts speak for themselves. Read The Ever-Shrinking Eva Herzigova 1992 Vogue UK & Cannes 2010

Today the yummy mummy supermodel (for real) looks healthy and still she has a big smile on her face. Bottom line, a bit of clavicle fat just isn’t the curse of death.

Let the fashion aristocracy embrace bedrock bones. The rest of us are broke anyway, so let’s face reality and celebrate a bit of bloom on the rose. Note I said “a bit” — although the news about slightly-overweight women (BMI 26-30) living longer in a study of 3 million people gives us a moment to reflect on fashion’s wisdom that being a size 0 is what we all should die to be. ~ Anne
