PLUS MODEL MAGAZINE May 2015 Swim Issue | Page 23

The campaign has caused a lot of controversy and discussion. As a plus size woman working in this industry I’m privy to a lot of information that would cause most people to cringe. I know how “fat-phobic” some brands, designers and people can be inside of this industry. I also know what progress looks like when I see it. A marketing campaign such as this took a lot of thought and effort, and while they did not include a size 18, 24 or 32 this was a step in the right direction in my opinion. Let’s celebrate all the positive steps we are making in the industry and reserve our efforts to those that are focused on depleting the term PLUS for their own personal gain.
