Size inclusivity may have tiptoed onto fashion week catwalks in the past, but plus-size models have typically been a minority—if they’ve been included at all. In the late 2022 season, they represented just 2 percent of total castings, per thefashionspotofficial. And that was an increase.
 
Getting even one or two models over a size 12 onto a fashion week runway is a challenge every season, says Chelsea Bonner, CEO of Bella Management.
 
So the Sydney modeling agency opted for a more fashion-forward look by organizing The Curve Edit, the first-ever runway show at Australian Fashion Week dedicated exclusively to plus-size brands.
 
With a modest AU$100,000 budget—and less than two months to prep—the team partnered with six local brands to source 84 runway-ready looks for 25 plus-size models. And they slayed—with the project strutting its way to number 20 on our #MIP2022 list.
 
“Everyone in that room knew that we were creating a change that was overdue and would be long-lasting,” says Bonner.
 
Head to the link in our bio for more on how this team came together to make a plus-sized fashion statement.
