It seems that the world is still having issues with the “plus size” industry.

After being the only plus size designer to show and open Milan’s Fashion Week for the last five years, Elena Miro was EXCLUDED from the schedule. Their answer to this:

-Head of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion Mario Boselli told the AFP, “Some labels just weren’t in line with what ready-to-wear week should be. We wanted to champion the values of creativity to reaffirm Milan’s role in the world.”-

The show did go on, but to a smaller crowd in a standing room.

Sure, she isn’t over the top artsy as some, but she has fantastic, realistic designs that many women prefer. I do not understand how Milan could leave her out. I think it absolutely disgusting that something like this has happened.
 

I wish I could tell the people who decided to leave her out of Milan’s Fashion Week that they need to get over themselves and do something that will benefit the world. What say you?

Yes, It can be really difficult. Especially on days when I remember that to be successful in this industry I need a good agency. It is mostly frustrating because I am so passionate about it, and I usually feel helpless.

I am glad I am a student and work at ModCloth.com, they are good distractions. Otherwise I might go crazy from just sitting around waiting for something to happen.

At the same time I wonder if I wasn’t in school or working, would I do better putting 100% into modeling. But my recent trip to NYC humbled me a little more than I expected, more discouraged than humbled I suppose.

But to be honest, if I gave up now I wouldn’t be happy. I have never before been so passionate about something. I usually go through phases with different hobbies and such, but I have been modeling for 2 years, and I haven’t gotten sick of it yet!

What’s in store now? Who knows, but my article on ModCloth seems to be getting a lot of responses! Also, I am taking a dive into freelance modeling to see where that gets me. Maybe someday I will write a book about this whole struggle… Who knows what is in store for me, and for all of you! Our futures are so bright!

I totally went off on a rant sorry about that Cheech! ;) But the answer is yes, it is. But it is worth it, and hopefully will be in the end.

<3 Happy Friday Everyone!
