We have (women) in their late 30s. Blake Lively wears Michael Kors and Barbara Walters wears Michael Kors. I think it's good to see variety of height, age, body shapes, but it's still exemplary, and it's still about a fantasy and a dream. I think we have to avoid underage girls. [Leader Post]

13. Noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker has weighed in on the whole Kim Kardashian W mag porn vs art kerfuffle:

"I thought it was daring of her. I thought she actually looked amazing, and I was surprised how little they retouched her," Barker told us. "I thought that was refreshing. I immediately thought, when I heard it, that I was going to check these out and they'd look like silk or something, and be retouched to oblivion. But, no, there she was, and you could see little goosebumps on her bottom, and all the rest of it. And I was like, 'Okay. Great.' It was cool. It's back to what photography is about — we're not trying to be animators. We're meant to be photographers. The fantasy should not be a computer game."[TheCut]

23. Daisy Lowe would like more curves please.

"My dream is to see a lot more female shapes in ad campaigns when I look through magazines...my friend was working with Crystal Renn and said she thinks she's only got a 38-inch hip. Karl Lagerfeld said he was going to embrace her womanly shape and then he just put her face on the ad campaign. Girls are starting to have tits in pictures, but I think it still needs to be about the curve... Real women have hips and an arse, yet loads of models in shows seem to have neither."
