# Shrinking Plus-Sized Models Crystal Renn Looks Skinnier in Fashion for Passion Photos By Tiana Reid | Published 2010-07-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-renn References: [nymag](http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2010/07/crystal_renn_appears_to_have_l.html) & [fordmodelsblog](http://fordmodelsblog.com/2010/06/30/crystal-renn-fashion-for-passion/) Photographer Nicholas Routzen captured [plus-sized model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torrid-jeans-for-life) Crystal Renn in photographs promoting the nonprofit ‘Fashion for Passion.’ While the photographs are, without a doubt, pretty-looking, people on the blogosphere have been speculating that Crystal Renn has lost weight. Again. The difference in the model’s size could be due to [photoshopping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty), or perhaps a personal decision to lose weight -- or it could be the pressures of upholding impossible beauty standards in the fashion industry. Let’s hope it’s not the former. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Body Positive Misrepresentation:** The trend of shrinking plus-sized models represents a misrepresentation of body positivity and inclusivity, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for brands to genuinely celebrate all body types. - **Demand for Authentic Representation:** Consumers are increasingly demanding genuine representation of diversity, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to authentically celebrate all body types and challenge damaging societal beauty standards. - **Redefining Beauty Standards:** The shrinking of plus-sized models highlights the need to redefine beauty standards in the fashion industry, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for brands to promote a more diverse and inclusive representation of beauty. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has a responsibility to promote a more diverse and inclusive representation of beauty, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity to challenge damaging societal beauty standards and authentically celebrate all body types. - **Marketing:** The representation of diverse bodies in marketing is key to promoting authentic inclusivity, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity for marketers to challenge beauty standards and champion diverse bodies. - **Nonprofit:** Nonprofits like 'Fashion for Passion' have a unique opportunity to celebrate all body types and promote a more diverse representation of beauty through their campaigns, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for charities to challenge damaging societal beauty standards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body-Inclusive Image Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-type-range.md) - [Fashion-Forward Shapewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calvin-klein-shapewear.md) - [Community-Driven Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitless-campaign.md) - [Body-Inclusive Reality TV Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roses-for-every-body.md) - [Ballet-Inspired Altheticwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/en-pointe-collection.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Inclusive Denim Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torrid-jeans-for-life.md) - [Romantic Size-Inclusive Intimates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gabi-gregg.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md)
