The fact that 2 staff members quit over the use of size 10 and 12 (UK size) models just demonstrates the serious bias of the fashion industry towards regular women. If they quit because size 10 and 12 models were used, what kind of message does this give to all the women who are even larger?? The fashion industry is the most shallow and hypocritical industry there is! Maybe the current state of the economy will give it pause on how it does business. I, for one, am not crying over the dismal business they’re getting! I just hope those who perpetuate these unrealistic and prejudicial ideas about what is beautiful get flushed out of the system. I will definitely be cheering when that happens!

For starters sizes 10 and 12 are NOT Plus Size.
I’m glad that someone decided to feature normal healthy women in a runway show. I’m tired of the emaciated 12 year old klutz in makeup look. Though these “Plus Size” Models need to stand up straight and stride with confidence.
Now for the clothes… In this economy we are all one step away from wearing rags, couture should not reflect that. Couture show be about quality and tailoring. Time to cover up and brig back the bias cut.

Hurrah! Clothes I can wear—which translates into clothes I will buy. Mark has definitely gained a new fan. I’ll be looking for his labels on my next shopping trip.
