This is a magazine in the UK that is just like any old magazine with articles about fashion, cooking, and lifestyle. HOWEVER they only use models who are from a size 14 (US size 12) and up! Talk about cool. There are several other magazines in the States who do the same kind of thing (Plus Model Magazine, and Venus Diva Magazine). I really think it is awesome what they stand for, I mean there are a ton of fashion magazines that don’t use girls above a size 6, so bring it on!
But the thing that bothers me about this one? THE QUALITY (and name)! It really bugs me when these ladies work so hard for a magazine but it looks like a 5 year old designed it. Sorry if this is kind of mean, but people in the fashion industry aren’t taking it seriously because of the design… And that makes me really sad, they almost see it as a joke. Just look at the comments here. Come on plus size industry! If the fashion industry won’t let us in lets make a name for ourselves! Lets be JUST AS GOOD as them.
Sorry about the rant, I just want the fashion industry to realize that we have kick ass style too. We are just as good as everyone else, just because we have a few extra pounds doesn’t mean anything about our ideas and fashion sense.
What do you think?
