I believe that the words anorexic skinny and fashion has been acrimonious synonyms for far too long, people snicker and jeer when a full figured person tries something when dressing up or being fashionforward, being told that it's 'inappropriate' or the famous 'try something less bold', with these fools usually not even being able to distinguish the difference between a McQueen creation and a rug filled with cat hair.
The Chunkies (yes, I am starting a revolution) have secured their rightful place in fashion with fearless boundary pushing, notice the success we had in recent years in terms of eliminating the apparent faux pas which states: "People with curves are not to wear horizontal stripes", I have seen a multitude of full-figured ladies wearing this trend with style and zest.
On a serious note, as much as I love fashion, it seems that no matter how stylish and fashion forward you are, the public perception is that when your not 6 foot tall and your collarbones are not showing, you cannot truly embody the essence of fashion.
Fashion should be all-inclusive, we need no invitation for creative expression, as Lady Gaga put it (I know, so cliche) " Why have we decided that one person's opinion matters more than anyone else's?". If ever anyone came up with a reasonable, intellectual and justifiable answer to that question, I will hang up my Mr Price chinos and will never pursue fashion again. Until then, FAT KIDS WILL KEEP ON CONQUERING FASHION!!! ♥
