Backstage at Syla By Sylvie Cachay for Miami Fashion Week., On the catwalk, On location, Swimwear

I was running back and forth from five different things, so I didn’t have too much time to observe the suits the models were wearing.

The designer, Syla Cachay, is of Peruvian descent, which is brought out in her selection of prints. The Swimwear former Marc Jacobs intern used bright contrasting colors in big and loud shapes which she describes as Hippy Couture.

I talked to a couple of the models who were wearing the brand, they told me that it was the best fitting suit they’d worn all day.

Victoria’s Secret model blasted for back fat

This is a model from the Ca Maritime runway show at San Paulo Fashion Week. Next to this nearly anorexic figure, we suppose anyone would look fat.

Because while the fashion industry claims to have realized the error of its ways  denouncing ultra-skinny models, and learning to love the “real women” of the world  it turns out those revelations must have been a passing fancy. Karolina Kharkov’s, a Victoria’s Secret model, appeared in the same show, and response has been scathing  just because of a little cellulite.

Kharkov’s has been slammed by the press, who are calling the sexy supermodel chunky,fat and claiming the audience was shocked when they saw her in a bikini.

Let’s be real people. The photos aren’t exactly glamorous (at least not in a supermodel kinda way), but as you can see in the above gallery or the video below, the 24-year-old Kharkov’s is anything but unattractive. Fast-forward to the 7:35 mark to see her in the bikini that’s become the focus of so much controversy.
