V Magazine's highly anticipated "Size Issue", with alternate covers featuring Gabourey Sidibe and Dakota Fanning, hits newsstands today.
Although each cover girl has buzzworthy status in their own repsective rights, it is for another reason this unique issue has produced a heightened amount of chatter. Shot by top fashion photographers (Terry Richardson, Terry Tsiolis, and Sølve Sundsbø to name a few), a variety of models - short, tall, skinny, plus sized, etc.- are showcased in interesting and riveting pictorial spreads. Below are snippets of the sneak peek, previously released by models.com.

It's most interesting, or even ironic, to note that the "Coco a Go-Go" editorial was shot by world renowned fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld. Interesting due to the content and its relevance to Lagerfeld's recent eyebrow raising, "No one wants to see curvy women", comment. Fast forward to today and behold his reversal of opinion.
