Plus Size Model Crystal Renn New Face Of Channel's Re-branded SoHo Store in NYC

For models getting a chance to be part of a Channel campaign is considered the gold standard. So, it is no surprise that size 10 model Crystal Renn is the new face of the campaign to re-brand the Channel store in Soho.

“I’m absolutely freaking out,” she told us. “Working with Chanel has been my dream forever. As long as I’ve been working as a model I’ve been thinking about Chanel and working towards Chanel and this campaign is the proudest moment of my life.”

Crystal Renn working with Channel is somewhat surprising when you consider designer Karl Largerfeld dismissed plus-sized models as fads.

It’s about a personality and a moment captured...it’s not about body size it’s about talent and effort," said Renn to Fashionista. "I hope the industry sees this [campaign] as an example of that.”
