Skye Standley, a prominent model known for her distinctive red hair and curves, faced a challenging 2022 despite initial success in the industry. Once celebrated for her representation of body positivity, Standley reported a drastic decrease in modeling opportunities, particularly during London Fashion Week. The resurgence of thin ideals and wellness culture has overshadowed the progress made by the body positivity movement. Additionally, Standley recently left her agency amidst these industry changes, highlighting ongoing debates about diversity and acceptance in fashion.
In reality, it was one of her toughest years. The past two years have been really challenging, says Standley. I've noticed a lot less work.
For all the strides the body positivity movement has made, there have been signs that the thin ideal was always going to make a comeback.
