London Fashion Week Becoming More Bold & Beautiful

According to a lead fashion designer, Bora Aksu, commented on the breakthrough of plus-size models on the catwalk. He said, "Over the last couple of seasons they have become more noticeable," and he also said "You also notice that these are girls who look healthy and happy." And what a better way to promote clothes with a smile?

When in 2007 there were several deaths of size-zero models, the British Fashion Council began a model health inquiry. It failed to set out strong guidelines for the fashion industry but some of the worlds famous models are warming to the idea. Like Naomi Campbell who said, "I think the bigger the better. I don't comment on size, I think if someone is beautiful then they should do what they want to do."

Some criticise the normal body up-rising and say that using normal size women on the catwalk is that it emphasises how thin the others are.

Well maybe the others should stock up on their meals and start looking like everyone else. I'm glad to see normal bodies on the runway. After all, I do lurve the curve.

A designer who has broken the mould is Mark Fast, a Canadian designer who used three plus-size models to model is tight knitwear (pictured). It was so controversial that his stylist and casting director walked out.
