I want to comment on the fact that in the entire weekend of runway for LAFW... I only saw one other "curve" model. I was the only "plus model" that I saw ALL WEEKEND. I was told that in some of the other shows going on around town, there were also NO curve or plus models. I know the industry likes to pretend that it has become so inclusive... but this wa. very telling to me. In any case, I was so incredibly proud of the 2 designers that decided to represent plus AND that the pieces were EQUALLY AS GORGEOUS as the straight sizes. It's a big deal to go against the grain and they both deserve their flowers. Go follow @Victor Puglielli & @kennethbarlis_official for two designers with inclusive pieces and stunning designs. The little girl in me that grew up with eating disorders and self-loathing felt so proud and important being up there and walking. Representing for all the other little girls and grown women that struggle with feeling okay in their skin. #afw2024 #artheartsfashion #runway #runwaymodel #plussizerunway #plussizefashionweek #fashionweek #fashionweek2024 #plussizetiktok #plussizefashionblogger #plussizefashion #lafw #bodypositivity #bodypositive #selflove #sizeinclusive #plussizehighfashion #hauseofpuglielli #kennethbarlis
