Bio from Wikipedia.org: Crystal Renn (born 1986 in Miami, Florida) is a plus-size model based in New York. Renn started her modeling career in high fashion at the age of 14 after being told to lose almost a third of her total body weight. This weight loss eventually triggered a health crisis, causing her to reassess her diet and exercise habits. After gaining 70 pounds and re-emerging as a U.S. size 12, she was re-marketed by her agents as a plus-size model, and now enjoys a highly successful career. In addition to working repeatedly with notable fashion photographer Steven Meisel and being the only plus-size model to appear on a Harper’s Bazaar cover, and appearing in four international Vogue editions, Renn has enjoyed lucrative contracts with many high-profile plus-size clothing manufacturers such as Lane Bryant, Evans and Torrid.
