This movement has gotten the attention of some big name brands, and it looks like there male fashion industry is undergoing change. Kelvin Davis is under a two-year modeling contract with a startup called Chubbies, which uses real customers with real bodies to model their products.
From startups to bigger names such as Dolce & Gabbana, which held a runway show with 140 men and women of different shapes, ages, and races, it’s clear that this movement is taking a hold of the fashion industry. IMG even launched Brawn, a plus-sized male division, in 2016.
The New York Post reports that New York Fashion Week’s creator, Fern Mallis, thinks it was a step in the right direction. “Social media is the engine of society right now,” he said. “[IMG Models President] Ivan Bart is really seeing that this is what’s going on in the world, and why shouldn’t we be reflecting that on the runway?”
