Crystal Renn | Txema Yeste | Antidote F/W 2012/13 Animal Issue

Note | Nudity Crystal Renn should be very happy with herself. We’ve folowed her ‘journey’ to self-discovery and self-love on AOC and really pleased to see Crystal in this stunning editorial for Antidote’s Animal issue. The word that comes to mind with Crystal — besides beauty — is balance. She says she has found balance, and these wonderfully sensual, full of integrity images by Txema Yeste confirm that fact.

On a side note, Txema Yeste has just knocked himself out for this issue of Antidote. Founder and creative director Yann Weber should be very proud of his work.

On this very complex topic of talking to women about body image, beauty and fashion as it intersects with sensuality and self-love, Antidote probably leads the pack. I’m a big Treats! fan for similar reasons, but Antidote is more psychological than Treats! — which is fine. To see a portfolio of publications developing that embrace and showcase this degree of sensitivity to sensuality is just wonderful.

Back to Crystal Renn, just stay in this groove Crystal. Yes, there are naysayers all around you, but every woman has the right to find her own path. You seem to have nailed yours down on a sound foundation, and that’s an inspiration to so many women. Your progress makes me truly happy. ~ Anne
