The Fashion Month runways have historically shunned size inclusivity, but the tide is changing slowly but surely.
magazine within the first few months. I was so grateful, but I was learning along the way that brands still aren’t making clothes for me in my size. When I started asking when I could do runway, I was told, ‘You can’t, because there’s no clothes being made for you.’
I walked into the S.S. Daley casting [this season], and Harry Lambert, the stylist, and [designer Steven Stokey-Daley] himself were there. They took my measurements right away, and told me they were going to make me a custom piece. That was literally two days before the show; They made the fit within 24 hours. I often ask myself, “Am I asking for so much to be included in fashion?,” and this [experience] showed me that if a designer wants to, they will.
There were three plus-size people on the runway. It was done well. I didn’t feel tokenized; I felt special on the runway. Now, I make it my duty whenever I go on a shoot or on a set, to have progressive conversations. Working with plus-size male models needs to be something that’s permanent. On the runways, it’s been amazing to see plus-size women with many different body shapes but it’s definitely slower [in the menswear space]. It’s a door being cracked—but it really needs to be kicked open.
