Marc Jacobs talked real women in womanly shapes at last week’s Alliance Française talk series in Paris.

The designer reflected on his successful Fall 2010 Louis Vuitton show in which he used more voluptuous models like Elle Macpherson and Laetitia Casta. “Even if you had no idea about fashion and had never looked at fashion, you would say, ‘Wow, look how beautiful those women look.’” via The Independent
