'A definitive backslide.' Inside fashion's worrying runway trend

The Fall-Winter 2023 fashion runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris saw a significant decline in the presence of plus-size models compared to previous seasons. Despite advancements in size inclusivity, such as Fendi featuring plus-size models in 2020 and Erdem expanding its offerings to UK size 22 in 2021, this season showed a regression. Fashion analysts and diversity advocates noted the absence of diverse body types, with data showing a 24% drop in mid and plus-size models according to Tagwalk. Vogue Business reported that 95.6% of looks were in sizes US 0-4, contrasting with 68% of American women wearing sizes US 14 or larger. Industry experts expressed disappointment, citing a perceived rollback in progress toward size inclusivity.
