The Terry Richardson Crystal Renn editorial for French Vogue's 90th anniversary issue shows that models aren't always pretty and proper. In fact, they can be downright dirty if they so choose to be.
Styled by Carine Roitfeld, the Terry Richardson Crystal Renn portrays the plus-sized model as a glamorous yet grubby food monster. According to NYMag.com, "The mammoth of an issue is already riding on plenty of hype, and these images have just the kind of shock value that will aid that effort."
