Breaking @fatroll News: London Fashion Week Debuts Normal Sized Models!
BBC News and fashion blog stylelist.com are reporting that up-and-coming designer Mark Fast used size 8-14 models in his Spring 2010 show at London Fashion Week! Personally, I am a bigger fan of the more marketable (and less avant garde) couture, but kudos to Mark all the same.
Apparently, his decision upset the runway shows stylist and casting director so much that they quit. But looking at the models (check out the picture from the BBC News article who is a size 12), I say this is awesome. I’m sick and tired of finding outfits on the rack that look great as a size 2 on the hanger, but by the time you get up to the size 8, it looks like a damn moomoo – or worse — a tight leather glove with your fat the equivalent of your five fingers sticking out. Gross image, right?
Well done, sir, well done.
