LONDON: As the London Fashion Week kicked off, a group of plus-size models turned the attention away from the shows to the chilly streets outside where they were holding a protest in lingerie, reported The Independent. Spindler said: “We want the fashion industry to change the way it represents body shapes. As the average British woman’s dress size is now 16, the models and Simply Be are calling on the fashion industry to choose models that reflect these statistics. The protest comes after the brand hosted a plus size “curve catwalk” during the last London Fashion Week, which featured models such as Tess Holliday, who is a size 26 and size 22 Callie Thorpe. Nonetheless, if the fashion industry is to be truly inclusive, all sizes need to be represented in print campaigns, as well as on the runway.
