Robyn Lawley is a gorgeous size 12 model.
In the fashion industry, she’s considered “plus-size”.
But considering that the average size of an American woman is a size 14, “plus-size” is a bit of a misnomer, no??
Robyn certainly thinks so, and similarly to Tyra Banks, she argues that the term “plus-size” should be completely banned in the fashion industry!!
During Milan Fashion Week, the beautiful Australian voiced her thoughts on the matter, saying:
├óΓé¼┼ôThere is a need for all women to wear all sizes of clothes and we should cater to that need without putting a label on it. The name plus-size doesn’t have any good connotation to it, and I don’t want women to be segregated into particular stores. They have to make changes because it’s not relatable at all. I love fashion but I can’t relate to any of the models that they use, so a greater variety would be nice. I see something on the runway and think it looks good on her but what would it look like on me, because her body looks nothing like mine.├óΓé¼┬¥
We’re sure MANY women out there would agree!
And even though Tyra has taken to calling her average-sized models “fiercely real” on America’s Next Top Model, Robyn makes a good point; why call them anything different at all??
Some fashionable food for thought! Speaking of thoughts, what’s your opinion on this?
