We meet up with Crystal Renn for another chapter in her evolving life. Amid lots of buzz that Crystal Renn is becoming too thin, other dimensions to her story are emerging. Designers like to dress her in latex, an image that Renn cultivated in her appearance at Cipriani 42 Street, October 21, 2010.

Crystal Renn was interviewed by NY Magazine about her weight loss, her new exercise routine and Mr Lagerfeld.

On Chaneling Her Inner Dominatrix

Renn says that she’s noticed that designers like her in rubber, and we’re not talking condoms. Agreeing that perhaps she does give off a dominatrix vibe (cough, cough), Crystal is embracing her Smart Sensuality self on her own terms.

Crystal Renn lensed by Derek Kettela, Paper Planes F/W 2010This is our point with women: be you and don’t rely on some bombshell bra to give you temporary self-confidence that isn’t for real. (See Renn’s wonderful images in Paper Planes F/W 2010.)

It’s a most superficial trick to enhance one’s bra size two sizes, especially if you’re on a hot date with a guy who loves big-busted women and has no idea that there’s a moment of truth-telling coming in the bedroom. We’re not knocking push-up bras, but vavavoom distortions are an entirely different topic.

Crystal Renn picks up the theme of being ‘one’ with her body, and this does involve using her body for self-expression. Nudity doesn’t bother her, she says, whatever her size. It’s clear that Crystal Renn has an inner dialogue going with the woman in the mirror, an endless conversation that many women experience because of the social pressures, morality police on sexy patrols, and endless fashionista sniping about body size.
