Women models have been portrayed as skinny for years but there is a trend that is catching on which has spun a market that has commanded its own fashion show and that is the plus sized models.
I watched a plus size slide show out of New York recently and was somewhat disappointed. I didn’t find the choices particularly flattering to the full figure, instead it was still pushing skinny girl styles of tight fit.
Actress Nikki Blonsky said she got tired of trying on outfits and just decided to go with what she liked and felt comfortable in. Personally, I think that the focus should have been on what flatters the plus size figure, whatever that maybe. They are the experts.
There were far too many above the knee. They looked good on the models who obviously work out and are toned but I don’t think it would be an appropriate choice for plus size gals. The belt around the waist, arms bare definitely not for me.
When it was over I had a question: What size constitutes a plus size? That question was answered later on in the article as size 12 and a referral to www.onestopplus.com.
Are fashion designers assuming plus size women want skinny girl styles? Have you been asked, or taken a survey lately?
