For Victoria's secret, you are "curvy" from size 40

The lingerie brand has released a "curvy" range, for women who have curves. From size 40...

Do you know Lorena Duran? Well, it's a model from the famous Victoria's Secret lingerie brand. One of his famous Angels. Its specificity: it sizes a 44. The lingerie brand wanting, like the fashion industry in general, to attack the large size market.

But after making headlines during her induction last spring, the 25-year-old Sevillian is once again stirring up social networks. Why ? Because she became the muse of the "curvy" range, for women who have curves. Nothing shocking in itself, except that Victoria's Secret has a very own definition: either size 40 and beyond. A categorization that goes wrong.

"Curvy", "a normal, healthy human being who eats at least three meals a day"

Victoria's Secret brand aposta per una model "curvy" i les xarxes responen amb critiques perquè, per sobre de la 40, ho consideren "talla gran"

It was enough for the social networks to be agitated, in particular on the other side of the Pyrenees. Lorena Durán the first: "Curvy=a woman with proportionate shapes and face, and an intermediate size. Curvy does not mean "fat", curvy means to be a healthy woman, who stands out from known standard averages. The basis of the problem and wanting to fit all bodies into categories, which I'm totally against. We should stop with the prejudice and normalize the theme of sizes".

In the surge you can imagine, one tweet caught the eye: "For the fashion industry, 'curvy' means 'looking like a normal, healthy human being who eats at least three meals a day' .

Para la industria de la moda, "curvy" means "con aspecto de ser humano normal, sano y que hace al menos tres comidas al día".
