Here is a picture of the plus-sized model who strutted down Jean Paul Gaultier’s catwalk in France.

(Velvet D’amour - 290 lbs - size 3x - was already in John Galliano’s Spring 2006 show - was in French Vogue

Read interview from The Sydney Morning Herald)

What do you think Gaultier was trying to do? Is this good or bad? (Stay tuned for a poll.)
