In the Paris Schiaparelli show, designer Daniel Roseberry discussed how fashion trends, including exaggerated hourglass figures created through design choices, are overshadowing the crucial issue of size inclusivity. Despite showcasing certain curves via trompe l'oeil techniques, real body diversity on the runway is in decline. Since the high point of body representation in 2021 with Paloma Elsesser's Vogue cover, the industry has seen a significant reduction in diverse body types each season, indicating a troubling regression towards a narrow standard of beauty.
Of all the trends at the fall runway shows...the single most ubiquitous one was the worst: the erosion of size inclusivity.
Ironically, as fashion embraces (and creates) faux womanly figures by design, the actual bodies inside the clothes are shrinking.
The pendulum went one way, and now it's swinging full force the other way, said David Bonnouvrier, a founder of DNA Model Management.
