On my Wish List I added a pair of Scarf & Chain Print jeans from River Island Girls, which are so cool. Scarf Prints are so in trend right now with brands like Primark having a shot at it, to brands like D&G. I cannot wait to get my hands on those Jeans, and with these below, you can look awesome in Scarf Print as well! First, take a look at D&G’s design from their Final Collection…

I was looking up the latest Fashion news, when I stumbled across a post  from last year; It was about the Vogue Magazine which Adele starred in last Winter. The cover of the magazine was a picture of Adele, all done up, with nice hair and gorgeous make-up; but you could only see her face. The rest of the post went onto say that it was the ‘one-size-fits all policy’. So, it made me think. Why do the bigger sized percentage of the Fashion Industry, just simply, get blocked out?

Well; you could say that it doesn’t completely get blocked out, because some stores do separate clothing lines for the curvier people around. But, mostly it kinda’ does; It’s the same with people with deformities, they just get stereo-typed into the ‘Fat & Ugly’ group. Personally, I think that, that statement is wrong. Curvy people should be proud to be walking around in clothes that wouldn’t suit a smaller person. So, what’s wrong with having Adele’s full body on the cover of Vogue? In the Fashion Industry’s point of view; ‘everything’.  Models ‘need to be’ size 6/8, between the height of 5.9”/5.11”, and need to have the ‘perfect look’, well after being airbrushed etc etc. Adele is very pretty, and has very good style. But she is not the above standards. She maybe a celebrity and she maybe an award winning superstar singer, but she still isn’t allowed her full body on Vogue Magazine’s front cover.

What’s wrong with a Plus Size women, or a man with a physical deformity? They can still do the same job, they can still pose in front of the camera!?

But, then again there’s the fact that the models need to be smaller so that young girls can believe that one day they will be as perfect as the ones on the front cover of their favourite magazine. Which is impossible, as all models are airbrushed, done up, and edited all on computer.  So, really the fashion industry is being a bit stereo-typical to those who are a bit bigger than your average model.

I want to see more curvier women on the front of magazines, and then I will be satisfied. I maybe only 11 years old (soon to be 12!) but I can have an opinion. But, I am glad to say that the most recent Vogue cover with Adele, did show a bit more of her! 🙂
