Well, I say 'Big Girl' but since when has size 14/16 been BIG? Highstreet stores stock up to a size 16, the average UK women is a size 16...So I ask myself, Whats the fuss about Mark Fast using 'plus size models'?
Thank God somebody in the fashion industry can see that a women with curves can wear a dress just as well as a size 0 rake - if not better?!
As a curvy girl myself I love that these women have shown that Mika was right, Big girls - you are beautiful!
His latest A/W 2010 collection was shown at London Fashion week, and caused quite a stir. Fashionista's waited for his show with baited breath after last years controversy, when a stylist walked out on his show after finding his use of larger models in short dresses too much too handle! But as his collection features alot of body-con, why not use it on a body that has something for it to hold onto?
Now don't get me wrong, as a stylist in training, Skinnier models are often easier to dress - and in industry samples only come in small sizes so its catering for the industry I want to work in, but my god I wish a size 14 wasn't considered 'plus size'...lets be honest its just as hard to hide a 'muffin top' as it is to disguise a set of bony, exposed ribs!
So, Mark Fast, Thank you for giving all us girls with curves in all the right places (and a few extra in the wrong places!) a little glimmer of hope! Now, where did I put that cream cake?
