INDIAN FASHION'S SIZE INCLUSIVITY EVOLUTION

Have you ever considered not fitting in a party because of your size, clothing and being left alone? Well, fret not; you are not alone. Pragnya Reddy in conversation with fashion influencers and designers, sharing their ideas and spreading positivity.

Plus-size inclusivity has come a long way in recent years. From the days of limited options and an overall lack of representation, plus-size fashion has evolved into a thriving industry offering various styles and sizes. Here's a look at how plus-size inclusivity has evolved over the years, as mentioned by Diksha Singhi. "It's a niche topic, and fewer people follow and create such content. Body positivity, for me, is the understanding that your body's role is more than to look like somebody else's definition of beauty. For me, it's realizing that my true potential is in what my body does for me vs what it looks like."

In the past, plus-size fashion was often an afterthought. Plus-size clothing was limited to basic styles and colours, and many retailers only offered sizes within a certain range. This left many plus size individuals feeling excluded and frustrated with the lack of options. However, plus-size inclusivity has become a significant focus for many fashion and couture brands in recent years. An increasing number of Indian designers are broadening the range of models they use in their campaigns and advertisers. Here's an example of how SabyasachiX Bergdorfgoodman's runway impacted this side of the fashion industry. Sabyasachi Mukherjee said. "Skinniness and confidence aren't mutually inclusive; curviness and spirit aren't mutually exclusive."
