Not really.

Jasmines figure is fit for purpose. If anything too short but so is Kate Moss Devon Aoki and Doutzen Kroes.

High fashion folk want to see skinny models - haute couture looks better on them (plus they make sample size ie US size 0 for shows). There is no real desire in fashion to use bigger models (even Mark Fast has dropped this gimmick).

Karl Largerfeld accused a top model of having back fat - did not have really - noone complained.

People patronise and pretend they want to see 'real women'® as its the PC thing to say but in reality noone *really* does.

Thats why number 1 plus size model Crystal Renn lost loads of weight to look like a size 0 model

Plus why German womens mag Brigitte has gone back to using fashion models after vowing to use 'real women'®
