If there’s one thing about the fashion industry we wish we could change, it would be its lack of diversity. While there are plenty of campaigns and editorials aimed to push boundaries and redefine standards of beauty, we can’t say we’re completely satisfied with what’s generally recognized as “normal,” size-wise anyway.
But that doesn’t mean we’re not making progress. In fact, there are plenty of plus-size bloggers and supermodels who have made major waves this year – and they’re doing it in a big way. From Vogue‘s “Lingerie For All Sizes” editorial to smoke show Candice Huffine’s debut on the 2015 Pirelli Calendar, we’re really excited about where things are headed.
It’s been a year of serious plus-size fashion moments that’ll be remembered for a long time coming, so scroll down to celebrate the ones that got us all talking. And make a note to follow the fresh faces you see here, because this won’t be the last time you see these models and influencers striking a pose for your favorite magazines and retailers – we can promise you that.
