Yves Saint Laurent was the first person who made me feel like a woman.

Casta, who posed in 1999 as a model for Marianne, France’s symbolic republican heroine, smiled before saying: “I tell people my breasts were made in Normandy, from better and crème fraîche.”

Kendall Jenner Headlines Dazed 100

Kendall Jenner By Robbie Spencer For Dazed Magazine Winter 2014

Kendall Jenner headlines Dazed Magazine’s new list of 100 creatives making waves and holding court in fashion and design for the coming year. Jenner is interviewed by the magazine, where she denyies earlier reports that she was bullied backstage at fashion shows. Katie Grand is credited with believing that Jenner of the famous Kardashian family could transition into the world of fashion model, based on talent — and a flat chest.

I think she’s going to get everything she wants,” says Grand. “It was all a bit of a risk for her to go out there on her own in New York and trust someone that wasn’t IMG (Jenner signed with The Society Management). But above all, she looks great in the clothes. She’s flat-chested, and she has good shoulder proportions and a long neck. That’s all you really need.

Robyn Lawley For Beauticate

Aussie model, living-in-New York mom to be Robyn Lawley shares images from her exclusive shoot with Beauticate. In our politically correct world, Lawley speaks her mind — most loudly on the topic of ‘thigh gap’.

In October 2013 Robyn Lawley was featured on a pro ‘thigh gap’ Facebook page. In the photo Robyn was bending foward, creating an illusion of one, she explains. The negative comments — hitting about 900 — underscored the reality that body-bullying is bigger than ever.

“She’s a pig, she’s vulgar, how dare you put her on our feed,” the chorus screamed. Lawley responded in her famous essay for The Daily Beast:

The truth is I couldn’t care less about needing a supposed “thigh gap.” It’s just another tool of manipulation that other people are trying to use to keep me from loving my body. Why would I want to starve and weaken my natural body size? I’m not saying women who have it naturally are unattractive. But I would have to change my entire frame just to achieve something that seems so trivial.

Note that Robyn Lawley has taken the side of ‘skinny’ women in the body-shaming debate, saying that ultra-thin models aren’t necessarily anorexic or afraid of curves.

I find all this stuff a very controlling and effective way of making women obsess over their weight, instead of exploiting their more important attributes, such as intellect, strength and power.

Lawley is show here with long-time partner and father-to-be Everest Schmidt.
