What is a plus-size woman?
The ‘curvy’ movement is already unstoppable. It has cost more than expected, but he has achieved his goal, to make his space.
The fashion sector’s discrimination against bodies that do not fit into the classic beauty canons, which include extremely thin silhouettes, sometimes unhealthy, is rejected. The canons change, history shows it.
The fashion industry considers a woman plus size to be a woman who wears clothes above size 42. There is a logical reason behind this, the volume of the body changes and the way to harmonize it also. This can lead to a change in the pattern of the garments to better adapt to the architecture of the body. It is true, and because they are objective, that the industry “has forgotten” for years women from 42 onwards. It has been very difficult for them to buy good, beautiful and cheap, it has been difficult for them to dress trendy, it has been difficult for them to show their style staff even, and all for not meeting a standard. The fantastic thing is that every time this reality is more past than the present.
