A size 18 model says progression made with the body positivity movement is being reversed - with bigger plus-size models being left behind in the last few years in favour of smaller shapes.
Netsai Tinaresse Dandajena, who goes by Tinar, appreciates brands including different body types in recent times, but she and others in the industry are now noticing a 'disheartening backward change' with a preference for smaller plus-size models, such as a size 12, promoting the overall message in fashion that 'smaller is better'.
This London Fashion Week (February 17 to February 24), Tinar, who has been in campaigns for Glamour magazine, Missguided and In The Style, says it is crucial for representation on the catwalk to inspire the younger generation.
