Ever Notice How Even Plus-Size Models Have the Same Body Type? instyle.com

As body-positive activists put pressure on New York Fashion Week to become more inclusive, the plus-size industry is slowly gaining more visibility in the mainstream market. But time and time again, the designers who preach inclusivity send the same curve models down the runway: usually a size 12/14, and almost always with an hourglass figure. For the fat models who fall outside this norm, getting cast is near impossible. And for the plus-sized majority of American women, this limited casting shows that most designers still refuse to acknowledge their right to fashion.
