In this episode, Maisie and Kate dive deep into the enduring issue of body inclusivity in the fashion world, sparked by reflections on the 2006 film "The Devil Wears Prada." They explore the persistent problems with body-shaming language and unrealistic beauty standards prevalent in the early 2000s and continue to be perpetuated in popular culture.The duo also breaks down a recent report from Vogue Business on the size inclusivity of the Spring Summer 2024 shows, revealing a mere 4.8% representation of mid-sized or plus-sized models across four major fashion weeks. They analyze the top designers' rankings, applauding some younger brands' strides in inclusivity while calling out well-established luxury brands for their lackluster efforts.With thought-provoking insights and a touch of humor, this episode challenges the fashion industry's progress and spotlights regions like Copenhagen, leading the way in embracing diverse body sizes. It's a candid exploration of an issue that's far from resolved, but with a glimpse of hope for positive change in the industry's future. Join Maisie and Kate for a candid conversation about where fashion has been and where it needs to go regarding body inclusivity.
