Remember a few weeks ago when former plus-size model Crystal Renn walked in the Chanel Cruise show and everyone was, like, oh my gosh, she's lost so much weight? Well, it looks like that was just the beginning.

Check out these just-released photos of Renn by photographer Nicholas Routzen, shot for his "Fashion for Passion" campaign for children and the arts, above, compared to the "before" photos in the gallery. Has the woman who was recently championed as the fashion face and body of size-12 American women drastically shrunk?

After the Chanel show, when the industry was buzzing about how thin Renn looked, her agent at Ford Models claimed Renn had just come off a hike in Patagonia and was, then, on the lower end of her size 10 to 14 weight fluctuation. What do you think? How do you think losing weight will affect Renn's career? Remember what happened to Sophie Dahl's modeling career after she lost weight?
