Why did Glamour Magazine ask zaftig model Lizzie Miller to pose for them
In an era when the curvy silhouette was the call of the day, she wooed the ramp with her waif-like figure and became fashion's first lady-setting trends and breaking rules.
She is Kate Moss, UK's biggest fashion export. Discovered at the age of 14 at JJFK airport by Storm Model Management while returning from a vacation in the Bahamas, she went on to star on the cover of over 300 magazines. Unusually short for a ramp model, she's modelled nude for an ad campaign for Calvin Klein's Obsession perfume. She may have a five year old daughter,Vivienne Westwood necklace, but Moss won the Sexiest Woman NME Award and made a first appearance in the Sunday Times Rich List in 2007, when she was estimated to be worth £45 million.
In mid-2007,Vivienne Westwood necklace, Forbes put her at second position on the list of the world's top-earning supermodels, for earning an estimated $9 million in the past 12 months. The loot comes courtesy campaigns with designer brands such as Gucci,Vivienne Westwood earrings,Vivienne Westwood bags, Dolce Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Missoni, Longchamp,Vivienne Westwood bags, David Yurman, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent,Vivienne Westwood earrings, Burberry, Rimmel, and Bvlgari. Last year saw her signing a multi-million-pound deal with UK's Topshop to design her own clothing range exclusively for the chain. Incidentally, Moss is as famous for her personal dressing style and headline-making lifestyle as her work. She's won the coveted Council of Fashion Designers of America's fashion influence award and a place on Vanity Fair's international best-dressed list.
She is often credited with popularising items as diverse as the Ugg boot, ballet flats, denim cutoff shorts, Pirate Boots, Marc Jacobs ankle boots, YSL's Muse bag, Vivienne Westwood skinny jeans, Alexander McQueen's skull scarf, Louis Vuitton's Sprouse Leopard Cashmere Scarf, and the Balenciaga handbag. Her relationship with singer Pete Doherty is not her only link with the sound of music. Moss has made a foray into that world by appearing in numerous music videos, providing vocals for songs and DJing. Her career may have been plagued by controversy, including the highly published cocaine scandal that lost her modelling contracts with several international companies overnight, but her friends in the industry supported her with Galliano even stomping the ramp with a 'We love you, Kate' tee.

Glamour has apparently been inundated with emails and letters from readers who say they love the "woman on p. 194" of the magazine's September issue, who is pictured in her underwear, proudly showing off her pooch.
Cindi Leive, editor of the magaizne, wrote a post on the magazine's website saying that since the day the September issue hit newsstands, letters have been pouring in about one unknown model featured in the body-confidence article "What Everyone But You Sees About Your Body."
The letters blew me away: "the most amazing photograph I've ever seen in any women's magazine," wrote one reader in Pavo, Georgia. From another in Somerset, Massachusetts: "This beautiful woman has a real stomach and did I even see a few stretch marks? This is how my belly looks after giving birth to my two amazing kids! This photo made me want to shout from the rooftops."
The emails were filled with such joy-joy at seeing a woman's body with all the curves and quirks and rolls found in nature. (Raising a question: With all the six-packs out there, do you even know what a normal belly looks like anymore-other than the one you see in the mirror?)
