Changing Trends in Model Industry for Plus Size Women

For years, the body image perception in the fashion industry is never changed, despite having stick thin and skeletonized bodies, female models are considered idols for many young girls and they literally starved themselves to achieve the goal of being skinny.

Some years ago, we hardly saw models on run ways or fashion shows whose size were more than size 6; but then designers started to realise that there was a big demand in fashion markets for plus size women and it was a huge opportunity for them to cater this demographic market; and of course, they have had to choose curvy models to show case their designs.

In Australia, Robyn Lawley who has become a pioneer in plus size modelling, the 25 years old, six foot tall and size 16 model also is the first full figured model to appear on the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit edition.

Recently, Tess Holiday (based in the USA) a rising plus size model star and who got female audience cheering and applauding when she was walking on stage. She‘s proven that modelling is not only for size 0 but also for plus size figures: the size of at least 50% of women in the society.

Sizing Problems for Women's Clothing in Australia

Yesterday I watched the Current Affairs about the problems women have faced when they shop for their clothes size at different shops or at department stores with different brands/designers. Not only Australian sizing is inconsistent, the problems are all over the world especially when people shop for their clothes over the internet; it would be difficult for having an international sizing standard for all countries; it's why I wrote articles, videos ( http://youtu.be/PoAHh-lpjMI ) to give plus size women some tips on how to buy a good fit swimsuit online.

Designers' Tiny Sized Samples for Curvy Celebrities

Not all celebrities are size 0! Some of those are curvy such as Adele Laurie or Sofia Vegara but designers unrealistically sent size 0 dress samples to them; here what Sofia Vergara spoke at last night’s Gordon Parks Foundation Awards Dinner:

Jessica Gomes and Criticism about The Model.

It is hard to become a popular model but it's even harder to accept non sense criticism from some people in the fashion industry. Jessica Gomes is not an exception,the beautiful bombshell Sports Illustrated swimsuit model who has been admired by all over the world men for her curves. She is the new David Jones ambassador for their new season spring/summer 2013 fashion launch; at the catwalk show, there were some criticisms among the guests about her stretchmarks as well as her curves. It's really ridiculous that the critics think Jessica is an over weight models! Off course if compare her with stick thin models, she has more flesh and curves than them, and people who were invited to most of fashion catwalks getting used to see itsy bitsy models. It's why they made bad remarks when they saw her. In my view, she has a perfect body with perfect curves that make her stand out of the model crowd. "When you're young, you want to fit in, you want to be accepted and you're still trying to find yourself and what type of person you are. Now I just feel really comfortable in my own skin and really at the end of the day, I've found a balance with my life that if all was to go away, I'd still be a really happy person." Jessica said and I totally agree with her. No matter what shape or size you are, be happy in your own skin and remember one thing: you can never please everyone so just please yourself

Miami Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim 2014

 As usual, the Miami Mercedes Benz Fashion week swim 2014 mainly targets slim and young girls but from the event, it gives me some trend indication for my next summer Curvysea plus size swimwear collection.

There is a variety of summer swimwear at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim 2014.  This time, designs are combined between modern and vintage, from skimpy Brazilian typed bikini to high waisted swimming pants; patterns and colours are also varied between designers:  From geometric patterns for one piece swimsuits and two piece bikinis (Cia Maritima collection) to beautiful colour mixed prints of kaftans and two piece from Caffe Swimwear Summer 2014.  Aqua Di Lara show included cut-out one piece monokinis and daring bikinis in vertical mixed prints. At Beach Bunny, sheer kaftan and tiny tweeny swim bottoms steal the show. Animal and tribal prints are still shown on different designers’ collections such as in Mara Hoffman’s show (South East Asia tribal) or in Cia Maritima’s design (animal print). Polka dots on two-piece Marilyn Monroe’s styles come back in trend as we can see at Nicolita’s show.

The Biggest Loser Finalist 2012 in Curvysea® Plus Size Swimwear!

Beautiful Brenda Hunt (finalist of the Biggest Loser 2012) has chosen Curvysea® one piece swimsuit for her appearance in the OK magazine 2013.

Plus Size Swimwear: Flattering One Piece Swimwear for Real Women

According to a recent survey for plus size swimwear, the majority of plus size women prefer one piece swimwear to two piece swimwear. What is the reason for a plus size woman choosing the one piece? Mary, mother of three, said: “With one piece swimsuit, I feel more secure as I have a large tummy and the suit flatters it by tucking it in”

Claudia, 45 years old, likes one piece because she is tall and she has a large and long body “It’s impossible for me to choose two-piece bathers because of my long torso, most of them don’t even reach my belly button I do not want the risk of exposing my tummy budges while wearing them”

That’s why one piece is the best choice for plus size women. One piece plus size swimwear can come in different designs: simple and practical swimsuits; fashionable one piece or swimdresses; fashionable plus size swimsuits in one piece can have a V-shape neckline, bandeau or halter neckline with large straps to support a big bust.

Plus size swimdress has become quite popular for full figured women since the last few years. A flattering swimdress, which has empire waist, would help cover your big hips and thighs; or if you have no waist curve, a swimdress with flowing skirt would camouflage your waist, taking the main emphasis off your waistline and would make you look flatter and more attractive.

Solid colours or prints on plus size swimwear will depend on your shape and skin. There are some colours that plus size women can wear such as dark purple; red; emerald green; turquoise; navy. For the prints, stay away from bold prints on area/s that you do not want to attract the eye, say, if you have large hips or tummy, you would not want to wear a swimsuit with bold pattern/ bold flowers prints on the lower part of the swimsuit, instead, the big prints should be on the top part where you want to accentuate.

Armed with the above knowledge, you will not go wrong in finding a flattering plus size swimwear which would help you look more attractive and therefore you would gain more confidence at the beach or on your holidays.

Plus Size Swimwear Styles for Plus Size Women’s Shapes

Pear shape: You have larger hips & thighs than your bust and shoulders. Choose two piece plus size swimwear (Bright print on bust top and dark coloured bottom) or empire waist swimdress.

Heart shape:  Your bust and shoulders are larger than your hips and thighs.  Swimdress or skirtini would do the trick because it will hide the uneven body proportion.

Hour Glass shape: You have a curvy body. Your shoulders, bust and hips, thighs are similar in size except your waist. Tankinis with halter neck and dark coloured brief will help minimize your shape.

Boy shape:  with no waist and flat rear, broad shoulder.  Plus size swimwear in two piece (skirtinis) with halter neck will create curve and make you look more feminine.

A Busy Week at MAFW 2012

The beginning week of May was my busy week with schedule to attend the Mercedes-Benz Australian Fashion Week designers' shows in Circular Quay,  Sydney. 

There were many beautiful and colourful designs from New Generation shows of young designers (including some Hongkongnese designers).  I like designs from Winson Tan; Chailie Ho; they're beautiful and sophisticated.  Designer Roopa Pemmaraju's beautiful Summer dressess were unique and elegant; Kooey's swimwear collection including women's swimwear and men swimwear featured bold styles and striking colours (what a pity that the swimwear collection is still mainly for a young, slim body!).
For next year 2013, the MAFW organisers plan to move the show time forward to March instead of May (31.4 to 4.5).  I think it would make more sense for designers and buyers as the timing will allow designers to prepare and for buyers to stock their shops.
