Fashion lovers got a glimpse of an alternative universe during the London Fashion Week as Canadian knitwear designer Mark Fast sent plus-sized models down his runway.

His clingy knitwear looked good on every body shape, including models Crystal Renn and Hayley Morley who are size 16 and 14 respectively.

For Louis Vuitton in Paris, American designer Marc Jacobs ditched size 0 models for the womanly curves of Laetitia Casta, 32, Elle Macpherson, 46, and Lara Stone, 26, plus Victoria's Secret stars Adriana Lima, 28, and Alessandra Ambrosio, 28.

Bosoms also reigned at Prada. Many tops had room for something high fashion has spurned for ages - breasts.
