Thanks to models with “non-normative sizes” such as Paloma Elsesser, Precious Lee and Tess McMillan, who already model for the world’s best-known fashion brands, body diversity is becoming less of a distant concept and more of a reality. Now it’s the turn of men’s fashion, and thanks to CSM designer Ed Mendoza, we are one step closer to the body revolution.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We seem to be making progress in terms of plus-size representation on the catwalks, after years of lack of visibility. Although models like Precious Lee are now parading for the top brands of the moment, they still have an unequal role in the fashion industry. But what about men? Beyond the hyper-inclusive catwalk of Rihanna and designers like Louis Gabriel Nouchi and Soulland, the presence of “plus-size” male models in the context of high fashion is non-existent.<\/p>\n

Now, thanks to designers like Ed Mendoza, a member of Central Saint Martins’ MA class of 2022, whose final collection was presented at London Fashion Week, we are taking another step towards inclusivity and diversity in high fashion. “Mine was the first collection at CSM where all the men were plus-size, I think even all the plus-size people. Thinking about the struggles I’ve been through to where I am now, it was just amazing to feel appreciated and recognised,”<\/strong><\/em> he explains.<\/p>\n
