Paloma Elsesser is waging a war against fatphobia, saying:

"It's absurd that such a large percentage of people are excluded. Who can think that fashion only interests thin people?". "I want to get the message across that even if you're imperfect, you can have the life you want," she explains. And here she talks about the days on set when you don't have "that" size, the hypocrisies of the system and that time at the age of 8 in Gap's dressing room ...

The Failure of BodEquality

Non-luxury retailing is having major struggles with keeping their businesses solvent. But in the case of BodEquality, a new challenge I’ve not read before, has entered the convo. Brands should invest years of losing money to earn the trust of potential plus-size customers. I will also add, even if you are trying to achieve new sustainability goals that require major financial investment.

Our dear Edward Enninful, EIC of British Vogue, has very strong opinions on this topic. Let him take his three new supers he has crowned and his very intelligent self and become a “flying squad of larger-bodies intelligence” that is deeply-embedded in three test case brands.

Don’t just demand representation. Do something constructive.

Reverend-Ready Jennifer Garner in Fab Fakery Style for Allure May 2023

Reverend-Ready Jennifer Garner in Fab Fakery Style for Allure May 2023

Jennifer Garner covers the May 2023 issue of ‘Allure’ magazine, lensed by Tom Schirmacher [IG]. We don’t think of Jennifer Garner going edgy, but stylist Yashua Simmons creates a modern, steely-woman vibe with Miu Miu on the cover, LaQuan Smith [yellow trench coat], Loewe, Michael Kors and more.

“It spoke to the mountain girl in me — it’s a big part of Appalachian culture,” says Garner, 51, who grew up in West Virginia and gifts one of her wood-turning bowls created at a downtown Los Angeles studio to Pergament.

Garner learned the art of word turning in preparation for her current Apple TV+ thriller The Last Thing He Told Me

Asked who she would be without Hollywood, Garner delivers an unexpected answer.

“I would have really liked being a minister,” she says. “My mom thinks I still will be. I grew up in such a lovely church in the United Methodist Church, and the minister was like the den parent. What I like about the study of religion, it reminds me of the study of theater . . .
