Plus Size Models Finally!
Finally, fashion designers and fashion magazines have adapted a reality i.e. to use models in plus size for their business! As I've always thought, it's quite nonsense and unrealistically, designers used size 0 cat walk models for showing their styles whilst the majority of women in society is in size 14 and above! And for women's fashion magazines, most of their audiences are full figured house wives with kids, these plus size women would never see themselves wearing styles as in pictures of stick thin models.

Controversy Over "Victoria Secrets' Perfect Body" Advertising
For years in fashion industry, designers especially well known brands never change their standard setting on so call "a perfect body' image. To them, the more a model looks thin, the more she looks perfect. It's why they give gen Z girls a wrong thinking that they must be very thin to look beautiful and many young girls starve themselves in order to get the prefect bodies!
I'm not here to judge who would look nice nor who wouldn't but today when I read an article on Yahoo!Style regarding the company (Victoria's Secret "perfect body" Ad. controversy), Julie Sygiel, the founder and CEO of Dear Kate said she wanted "to represent as many different shapes as possible,”
I think we, as designers, should create fashion for different shapes or body types, and I call that "realistic fashion design"

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.
