Grazia UK – “The Rise of Plus-Size?”

grazia01

Grazia UK has highlighted the rise of the plus-size fashion industry in their December 14th article.  The article highlights how Lizzie Miller, the model known for being on page 194 of the now famous Glamour article, started the plus-size buzz.  Mark Fast was not soon behind with his fashion show that put both plus size and straight size models on the catwalk together. Then came the German magazine Brigitte and the US Glamour stating they were no longer going to use stick thin models but real, curvy women.  Now even Karl Lagerfeld who famously stated “…the world of fashion is about “dreams and illusions,” and that “no one wants to see curvy women,” in that world.” has jumped on board. He is one of the photographers for V magazines January issue that will feature famous plus size models, such as Crystal Renn. And, most importantly, there was the creation of Madison Plus. Yes, we can answer Grazia that this is the rise of plus size! And we will be here happily documenting it all for you!

    While Brigitte is a step in the right direction, they have stated they will not be using women over a size 12. So apparently ‘real’ women can only be between the sizes of 8 and 12.
