The above question is one that, shamefully, I have asked myself. At a healthy size 8 (& bigger in the bust) one can feel rather invisible in the fashion world. Browse your average street style blog and note that nearly all subjects are a 4 and under. Sadly, the fashion eye is just trained...

Gaultier to Black Models: ‘Come One Come All!’ – PFW Spring 2010

Fashion Week will have to do without Jourdan Dunn This Fall
