See the dress above? If you wear it in a standard size and appreciate this color, you can find it in a shade called “Dark Heather Grey”; if you are plus-size, you can find it in “Manatee Grey,” because that doesn’t feel targeted or anything (pun mostly unintended). More
Most sizes over a 4 aren’t represented regularly in the industry, and I suppose it would just be nice to look up at a billboard one day and see a woman whose figure resembles like my own thanks to an excellent suggestion by Crystal Renn. More
My only issue with the entire thing is actually a note on the Huffington Post article regarding the shoot who implies that being plus-size is somehow an outrageous, insulting title. Other than that, this shoot is adora-fierce. More
Does the idea of a obese mannequins upset you? This photo of a larger plastic model (with some very bizarre proportions) generated outrage and debate in a Reddit thread recently. More

Now, Vogue has released a bunch of photos from their shoot with her, and she looks awesome in them, Karl Lagerfeld be damned. To his credit (and unlike many before him), writer Jonathan Van Meter doesn’t harp on her (perfectly normal) weight. She also comes off like a fairly normal human in the interview, which is sadly refreshing in this age of pop tryhards. Here are the photos Vogue has released, plus some choice quotes from the article. More
Is it possible for this woman to get any more awesome? Apparently, YES. More

The lovely Marquita Pring is on a role: in the past year, she’s been appointed a face of Levi’s, walked for Gaultier and (so major for a model) worked with Steven Meisel… all at a size 12/14. Just don’t call her plus-size. More
Major UK modeling agency Models1 (the Brit equivalent of Elite, which represents supes like Alessandra Ambrosio, Amber Valetta and Linda Evangelista) has united with plus-size agency Excel to form excel-Models1, the focus of which is to groom plus-size models specifically for high fashion and runway work.

Unless your name is Anna Wintour or Karl Lagerfeld, chances are you do, and Full Figured Fashion Week is here to help. Starting today and continuing for, err, three days, the third annual “FFFW” will bring a ton of plus size designers, models, and buyers to New York City to meet and make fashion happen. Synergy! More
Yesterday we posted Italian Vogue‘s milestone July cover featuring plus sized models Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley (the first time a plus sized woman has had the honor since, oh, I’ll guess Sophie Dahl back in the day). Today, we’ve got the full spread. And man does it have lots of nudity. Get ready. And make sure your boss isn’t behind you. More
