CURVES ON THE CATWALK



Having read an article in The Times Magazine 8 May 2010, it is a delight to read and see photographs of models with a fuller figures having recognition on the catwalk.

Eating healthily suddenly seems to be a wise move instead of starvation; I at Curvaceous and fabulous believe that the fuller figure should be embraced. Size should not matter. Look in the street and there are all kinds of shapes? To get people to feel good about who they are, is the important factor, be proud.

Fashion magazines have promoted models that resemble sticks for far too long and to read that plus-sized models are slowly being celebrated is quite wonderful. We need to see healthy images and healthy bodies – celebrate being their size. A girl who is a size 18, 20 or 22 isn’t going to look at a model that is a size 0 and think ‘Oh, I can be like that’. But she will look at a plus-size model and think, ‘Oh, I can be that sexy or pretty’.

What is a perfect figure? Women in the 50’s were more womanly and wore clothes that showed off their curves; let’s take the heat off the stick-size model and show off our shapeliness. The wonderful aspect of today’s fashion is that one can wear what they wish to wear, anything goes – surely that should apply to our figures.
