No heroin chic here!


The first ever plus-size fashion week in Paris celebrated womanly curves in all their glory.



Dubbed Pulp Fashion Week - the word 'pulp' in French conjuring up luscious fruit - the event was organized by Histoire de Courbes, a Paris-based fashion group that celebrates larger women.


French plus-size labels La Belle Affranchie, Maryse Richardson, Tamboo Bamboo and Femme Fabuleuses were among the designers sported by the models, who strode the runway in styles ranging from lingerie to couture to sportswear.



'Now please let's welcome women with fabulous curves!' the Histoire de Courbes website announced in English.


'What better than a real Fashion Show for the Pulp women?'



While some in the fashion industry have moved to address concerns over too-thin models - including banning those who are under age 16 and who 'appear underweight' from walking in shows - skinny is still the predominant aesthetic.


In September's New York Fashion Week, Eden Miller became the first designer to show a plus-size label at Fashion Week. Miller's Cabiria line carries clothes in sizes 12-24.
