The Fashion Industry’s Obsession With ‘Skinny’
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – or so we thought. In fact, the fashion industry has been a major determiner of what constitutes as ‘beautiful’ be it realistic or not. Today, the very definition of it is tall and skinny leaving little leeway for those on the heavier side. Even jeans, a basic closet staple have trouble making it in a plus size wardrobe because of a misconception surrounding the fashion industry: Jeans are NEVER made for plus size people.
This is exactly why it’s almost impossible for plus size women to find the perfect pair of jeans. They either can’t find one in their size or they tend to be ill-fitting and there’s just no way anyone can look great in them.
With images of unrealistic body standards bombarded our way in every magazine, catwalk and billboard, social media tends to be even more unforgiving when it comes to plus size people wearing jeans. The prevalence of body shaming justifies the notion that jeans seem to be ‘exclusive’ for skinny people leaving everyone else with lowered self-esteem. That’s because in a society that promotes unrealistic body standards, it’s hard not to get caught up in comparing yourself to models.
The Fashion Industry Has A Plus Size Problem And This Fashion Designer Wants To Fix It
It truly is a harsh world we all live in. Plus size women are constantly under fire for merely wearing jeans and this fashion designer has finally had enough of this social stigma. Being on the heavier side all her life, Madeline Borough has always struggled to find the right pair of jeans. Even if they were available in her size, she would be too embarrassed to ask for fear of all the stares and judgements from strangers.
Realizing that millions of women are also victims of fat shaming, she was determined to fix this negative connotation surrounding jeans. This prompted her to work with a fashion engineer, Pete Davison and together they designed a one-size-fits-all jeans naming it “FitPerfect Jeans”.
The FitPerfect Jeans are created to fight back against body shaming and celebrate body positivity instead. Gone are the days when women should feel pressured into fitting a certain mould of what society deems as ‘beautiful’. So whether you’re thin, curvy or anything in between, these jeans are made to fit each and every one of you.
“Clothing companies should understand that not everyone has the same body shape and that’s okay”
“I’ve always believed that the fashion industry has the responsibility of encouraging positive thinking about our bodies, regardless of shape and size”
“Especially since it has such a huge influence on the world so they have all the more reason to capitalize on its reach”
“At least that’s what we’re doing with the FitPerfect Jeans”
