"The Size Issue" includes a high-fashion photo shoot with women who are proud to flaunt their thicker thighs, fuller tummies, large breasts and even their love handles.
The voluptuous models are clad in very little throughout the spread, wearing items like a pair of Guess jeans without a top, Dolce & Gabbana lingerie, a Gucci swimsuit, or in one shot: nothing but some fire engine red lipstick.
Solve Sundsbo, the Norwegian fashion photographer who shot the spread, told the Daily Mail that he "loved the opportunity to show that you can be beautiful and sexy outside the narrow interpretations that normally define us."
And while plenty of models will most likely turn up their noses at the issue, 2010 might be the year for the plus-sized model.
In recent months, model Lara Stone has become famous in her own right, despite her size eight figure and trademark gap-toothed smile, while Beth Ditto, lead singer of the Gossip, has found runway success with her plus-sized collection for Evans in the U.K.
V Magazine's "Size Issue" hits newsstands on January 14.

I'm like...really? is it that necessary to have a size issue that shows everything like this...i believe in girls having thickness or whatever as a lovely thing...a natural woman is as beautiful as a supermodel is, once they carry themselves well but looking at these pics, is it really necessary for them to wear a swimsuit like this...the naked picture is just loving their body which i can completely agree with...everyone should love the body they are dealt with but...i believe that they should also know when it has been let go to do whatever it feels like! I think facially the model is beautiful, her body is nice as well and if she is happy, i am happy for her...but i am sure that she could look better in something else...not just because its the size issue...should they show out all her size...i thought it would be a sexy issue as well, to me its not thus far! Its enlightening for sure...and somewhat inspirational but for what really? but btw...i love Beth Ditto *she is comfortable in herself that is what matter the most*...her music rocks...and Lara Stone is amazingly sexy...indeed no where near as plus size as they are trying to make her seem! *I did see the video on V though...and i think some of the other outfits are a much more flattering fit for these ladies... :)!
