After the controversy of Barbara Palvin, Victoria's Secret signs another 'curvy' model and is Spanish
Not all women have a 36, but Zara models do. Until now, because the giant of Inditex again opened this summer the doors to new canons of beauty including its first model with curves on its website. This is Jill Kortleve, a 25-year-old Dutch model who is not new to the industry, because she has starred in campaigns for Alexander McQueen, Fenty Beauty (Rihanna's beauty line) or H&M (which many applauded for being a woman 'real'), but on the firm's website.
And it has been because of the image that she herself has shared on her Instagram profile as the controversy has begun. Jill shared with his more than 70,000 followers an image of him with one of Zara's looks with which we can see it on the web, a black blazer specifically, and wrote "thanks Zara for choosing me as one of your first 'curvy' models in your web ".
Since then, the number of likes and comments has not stopped rising. Many, to congratulate the model for her work, and many others to question her definition as 'curvy' when Kortleve a size 40/42. "You're not curvy! You're beautiful! The fashion world is crazy!" or "Curvy with a size 40/42? I can't believe it" are some of the comments in the photo.
But the controversy has gone further, to the point of becoming viral, even outside our borders. The French medium 7sur7 gave a few days ago the news of the new 'curvy' model of Zara and Twitter began to burn immediately. And the French do not believe that Kortleve should be considered a large model.
"According to Zara, it is a model of" large size "," curvy. "She is a size 40/42, the size of most French. Or we are all overweight or their codes are not correct" or "Sorry? ? I love Jill Kortleve and it is great that brands show stretch marks and other differences but 'curvy' model? Wears a size 40/42. It is the size of most of the French "claim two of the French who have joined protest.
A similar controversy splashed Victoria's Secret a few months ago. The lingerie firm signed last March the model Barbara Palvin cataloging her new 'angel' as 'curvy'. As soon as the media broke the news talking about Palvin as 'plus size', social networks soon reacted: "Curvy with 55 kilos and 1.75 tall?".
