For the November issue of Marie Claire, the Magazine introduced a new column titled a "Big Girl in a Skinny World," which details the fashion ongoings of Marie Claire's fashion columnist, Ashley Falcon.Every month the aspiring fashion stylist will discuss her struggles as a plus-size fashionista, while dishing out "how to tips" on dressing faboulously for all sizes.
Although I'm not a plus-size fashionista, it was refreshing to read her article because I thought it was a great way to challenge societal norms/stereotypes. All to much we see the media spuing out what is deemed the norm and/or beautiful, especially in the fashion industry. So the fact that Ashley is:
- plus-sized and comfortable in her own skin
- passionate for fashion
- possesses a unique sophistication and style
To see exactly what Ashley has to say, go cop the latest issue of Marie Claire(Dec.) or click here to read her November article.
