Welcome to 'I Am Size Sexy' - a blog all about celebrating women and the diversity amongst us. As a fashion student i am often bored and shocked by the size zero trend of fashion models and im determined that i will not follow such a ridiculous trend. Yes some of the models are beautiful, im not saying they're not - etheral beauty is something we;ve all dreamt of at some point - but some simply look ill and at deaths door. In fact its been a combinatin of some high profile model deaths, reading Crystal Renns' book 'Hungry' and the discovery of 'All Walks Beyond The Catwalk' that have spurred me on to launch my 'Size Sexy' campaign - check it out on twitter (18Twenty).
The Size Sexy campaign is about women who are sexy and stunning and sassy and all those fantastic qualities that make both men and women say ' who is that?!' - the women who leave an impression, the women we all would like to be. The name is coined from one miss Kelly Rowland who told an unconfident contestant on Xfactor that she was a size sexy and to be proud of it and i really picked up on that.
So for the record, i am a size 18/20 and im a size sexy :)
I'll be posting interesting articles about the subject of diversity on the catwalk and in magazines, lnks to some great websites and pages and also keeping you all updated with my own journey through the fashion industry, breaking the model mould.
