The fashion world recently got a taste of something big, literally. At 5′2″ and 220 pounds, Ashley Falcon, Marie Claire’s new columnist for “Big Girl in a Skinny World,” gives fashion advice for plus-size women.
Ashley proves that fashionistas come in all shapes and sizes and that in this world, it’s an epic struggle when you’re a big girl. So she offers help, giving the curvy females practical fashion advice. Take for example her recommendations on the best jeans for curvy women. Her column immediately earned points with plus-size women everywhere for daring to call out designers for equating larger sizes to shapeless, non-flattering cuts.
The question now is will Glamour follow suit and find itself a plus-size fashion writer as well? 75% of the Predicto community says yes, 25% says no. Here’s what some of them had to say.
“I think they will since there are a lot of plus sized women out there,” says member “dottynell.”
“They should! Most of America is overweight,” says “Nikiya.”
“They have a very different readership. Glamour is an aspirational mag and nobody aspires to be fat!” says “nwyd4928.”
“Glamour [won’t get a] writer to write about plus-sizes like Marie Claire,” says “Bmay75.” Not a fan of Glamour, we suppose?
While we love the fact that Ashley’s bringing more than size diversity to the fashion glossies, we also think Glamour should feature spreads for big women.
