What kind of message is fashion trying to send larger women? Consider two recent photos. In one, designer Jason Wu launched his holiday collaboration with plus-size brand Eloquii with a retro black-and-white image of a coquettish model in a demure, full-skirted party dress.

There seems to be a unanimous agreement among the supers: The North Face Jacket is the puffer to have. From Kendall Jenner to Hailey Bieber, there aren’t too many style stars who don’t have the über-popular coat in their winter wardrobes. Of course, it’s nothing new or groundbreaking.

Fast forward to the ’90s, and that’s when The North Face’s most famous jacket design – the Nuptse ..read more

Here’s our guide to one of these subgenres in particular: plus-size modeling.  Plus-size models are in demand because the vast majority of people, partic ..read more

I see those fractures in the repeated emphasis on quote-unquote getting your body back post-pandemic;  ..read more
