VOGUE UK editor Edward Enninful has hit out at the lack of plus-size models at recent fashion weeks, saying: “I thought I had gotten into a time machine”.
Enninful thinks the industry is still too obsessed with skinny, despite claiming it has changed. “It felt like we were slipping back,” Enninful added, with “show after show dominated by one body type” while “so many women around the world were being ignored”.
In response, he has featured models Paloma Elsesser, Precious Lee and Jill Kortleve on the cover of next month’s issue.
The fashion industry has long talked a good game over inclusivity for different body types, but many commentators noticed that thinner models seemed to dominate the runways at recent fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris.
