Calls plus-size models a ‘joke’ by Fashion designer Julien Macdonald

The Welsh designer lashed out at plus-size models in a recent interview, calling fashionistas with curvier figures a “joke” and saying there’s no room for superior girls on the show he hosts, “Britain’s Top Model”.

“This is a serious show, a catwalk model is a range six to eight” Macdonald told Wales on Sunday, according to the Daily Mail. You can’t have a plus size girl winning – it builds it a joke. (Size six to eight in Britain interprets approximately to size two to four in the U.S.)

The fashion world needs to modify, Renn told the Independent. Women on the street don’t narrate to all this talk of plus sizes, and it creates an ‘us and them’ mentality, which leads to comments similar to the ones Julien Macdonald has made.

Mom steered Nicole toward fashion designing

Nichole Richie showed a keen interest in fashion as a youngster when she used to design her own clothes from dad Lionel Richie’s stage dress materials.

Nicole would give her own designs to her dad’s wardrobe mistress, requesting her to build the outfits out of the left over pieces of his costumes.

When I was a small girl and my dad was touring, I would make his costume designer create outfits for me out of the extra fabric. I was actually making my own clothes, or designing them at least! The Daily Star quoted Nicole, as telling Glamour mag.

Nichole has now taken fashion as a career and commenced her own House of Harlow 1960 fashion house label, which comprises her line of jewellery, clothes and shoes.
