Fashion’s affair with skimpy, sexy clothing has been in full swing for the past few years. Post-pandemic dressing brought with it a party uniform full of cutouts, sheer materials, and minuscule cobweb-like straps. While some were adding these images to their mood boards, others criticized the implicit messaging in the casting of these shows. Primarily worn by sample-size models, it screamed, “sex is back,” but only if your body fat percentage is less than 20%. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ But this season, increasingly fuller stomachs are being allowed to exist, un-cinched, outlined by second-skin garments, or exposed by crop tops. Examples include 16Arlington, Marni, Ganni, Chloé, Nguyen Inc., and Miaou. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Head over to missionmag.org to read more on fashion's embracing of plus-size bodies.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Words: @fatannawintour​​​​​​​​ Images courtesy of: @Chloe
