The stylist who suddenly quit on Mark Fast last week because he hired three plus models to walk in his show has offered an explanation:

The stylist who walked out on designer Mark Fast because he used “large” models in his fashion show says she quit not because of their generous proportions but because they didn’t have the right walk.

“The walk is very important,’’ says Erika Kurihara.

We didn’t say it was a good explanation. Plus models can’t walk? Please. We can’t help but feel that it’s fashion-industry sentiments like Kurihara’s that are pushing curvier models to diet down.

Take British supermodel Lara Stone as an example, who at a size 4 says she is tired of being “the fat one” and is now taking drastic steps to make herself smaller.

It’s a ridiculous (not to mention disordered) assertion. Just ask Lizzi Miller: Curvy models are having a moment. Don’t lose what makes you stand out.
