THE KIT

Being at the Toronto Plus Size Fashion Show Felt Like a Celebration of Self-Love

After a three-year hiatus, the third Toronto Plus Size Fashion Show took place at Artscape Daniels Launchpad on Saturday, Sept. 2, showcasing the best in size-inclusive fashion, from loungewear and lingerie to men’s streetwear and wedding gowns.


Designers, retailers, influencers and guests gathered for the event, which featured runway shows from six plus-size designers and retailers, as well as shopping pop-ups and a panel discussion on artificial intelligence and fashion. Models of all genders, shapes and abilities walked the runway beaming with confidence to cheers and whoops from the crowd.

TORONTO STAR

‘This is more than a fashion show — it’s a healing process.’ The Toronto Plus Size Fashion Show was

Everywhere I looked backstage at the Toronto Plus Size Fashion Show, models were excitedly chatting, practicing their walks together and trading compliments.


The laid-back mood was very unlike the chaotic atmosphere I’ve encountered behind the scenes at fashion shows in Toronto, New York and Paris. The supportive energy here was so strong that I was reminded of a nightclub ladies’ room around midnight — everyone ready to touch up someone else’s makeup or give a reassuring hug at any moment.

CBC:

She's not only an accountant but a model, and she's shining a light on plus-size fashion

"They don't actually accept you as a model or as part of the fashion industry because you don't meet the standard," she said.

"I started to meet some of the girls in town who were facing the same issue. I would see them on social media with great pictures, but nothing was moving. I really started to question the whole industry."

Fashion Art Toronto : vers une industrie de la mode plus représentative

 

Encore du travail à faire


Une industrie de la mode inclusive, c’est une industrie qui inclut des personnes de toutes tailles, de toutes morphologies et de toutes couleurs de peau. Quand on parle d’inclusivité, on doit voir une diversité et une mixité dans l’industrie, explique la fondatrice de Malia Indigo, une entreprise dédiée à la mode grande taille, Josiane Laure Modjom.

Entre 2014 et 2020, il y avait un mouvement de positivité corporelle, surtout aux États-Unis. On a vu un certain changement, une petite inclusion. Le message est passé, mais à moitié, estime Josiane Laure Modjom.
