Recently was fashion season - and quite aside from the Full Figured Fashion Weekend working in london which didn’t appear to obtain just as much attention as full figured fashionistas may have wished, there have been two attempts from fashion brands to provide ‘real women’ within their catwalk shows.

At Paris Fashion Week, Ron Owens used ‘real women’ alongside professional models, by real we don’t mean slightly larger than a size 6, we really mean ladies who just aren’t models!

 

The thought of showing his high-finish fashion on non-model women was unquestionably to exhibit mere mortals how we’d try looking in his designs. I did not notice anything full figured, though. Ron might be too edgy to incorporate full figured women in the meaning of ‘real’.

Donna Karan’s DKNY show in New You are able to seemed to be recognized for using real women - however, DKNY isn’t the classy Donna Karan line, it’s the diffusion line that’s promoted at individuals who want Donna Karan clothes but aren’t made from money.

So, who's making the statement? Based on the media, Ron Owens, who isn’t broadly known outdoors of favor circles, had been more provocative because his clothing is more costly and for that reason not necessarily meant for us mere mortals.

The DKNY show only agreed to be an start to sell more mid-listed designer clothes to individuals who can’t pay the real factor. Which makes me mix - would be the fashionistas stating that real women don’t put on designer clothes? That they must be limited to individuals people lucky enough to get be fortunate having a bank balance backwards proportion to the dress size?

Last season, Owens also courted media attention by utilizing mainly black models, even though it still shocks me that utilizing a ‘model of colour’ is recognized as by any means edgy thinking about the UKs most glamorous supermodel, the great and divaesque Naomi Campbell first strutted nonchalantly lower the catwalk around twenty five years ago.

In last season’s shows, the models were mostly (fashion industry) plus-size models who changed the sourpuss look beloved from the typical designer model with dancing, smiling as well as stomping. This year appears to become a continuation of his attempts at challenging certain stereotypes, however i question, what point is he really attempting to make?
