One of the great parts about blogging is hearing from readers. Last weeks edition of the Full Figure News newsletter included a question, “Do you feel that plus size fashion is getting the respect it deserves?” I have my own opinion on this particular subject, but I wanted to hear from you guys to see if the state of the plus size community is changing or still has a long way to go.
Of the responses given there were a few that gave me reason to pause. The response that made me think the most was one that focused on designers, models, and the media. Full Figure Plus has some fantastic readers. If you have not signed up for the newsletter all it will cost you is your email address. To those who have signed up but have not confirmed your email all it takes is a few seconds to click the link.
Full Figured Fashion Week is a great thing for the plus size industry, but hopefully becomes more mainstream in the next couple years. Progress is definitely being made in the industry with the emphasis on models and quality plus size clothing hitting the market. However, as you could see with the size of the models used for Fashion Week the main culture is still geared toward the old theory of “hauntingly skinny is better”. I agree with you though, and think we’re in the middle of the plus size revolution!!
