Thick women are making it big in the fashion
industry, I mean heyyy…. Am a thick beautiful girl myself so I absolutely enjoy
it when the media embraces our beauty.
I mean take for example Gabi Gregg, Two years
ago the American fashion blogger Gabi Gregg, 27, posted a picture of
herself on her style diary, gabifresh.com, wearing a bikini. The post was
written about everywhere, from Teen Vogue to the New York Post. It culminated
in an appearance on the American television show Today, in which Gregg was
asked to explain her decision to put the picture online. Why? Because she is a
size 20, and, along with an increasing number of her fashion-hungry plus-size
peers, she has had enough of hiding.
Her "fatkini" post (as she calls it)
led to a contract designing bikinis for the American company Swimsuits for
All, and a column for American InStyle. Now she has set up her own plus-size
clothing line. Gregg is often cited as an inspiration by her peers, who aim to
prove that, when it comes to style, size doesn't matter.
"I knew it would be empowering for women
to see a plus-size girl proudly wearing a two-piece," Gregg says from her
home in Los Angeles. While some commenters accused her of being unhealthy - or
not fat enough - most responses were positive. "People told me that I'd
made them feel it was OK to go to the beach again. Who knew something so simple
could be so life-changing?” . (Racheal Dove 2014)
She said it all, Love the skin and body you in
then the rest will follow!!!!
