Bigger Models spark Fashion row

Designer Mark Fast and his stylist have fallen out over a conclusion to feature “plus size” models at London Fashion Week.

Two members of knitwear designer Mark Fast’s team were so enraged about curvier women showcasing his designs that they walked out on the project, the BBC reports.

Fast’s organizing director Amanda May said there were “creative differences with regards to the casting of those girls”.

The pair both quit the team three days before Fast was due to reveal his Spring/Summer 2010 collection on the catwalk.

Undeterred, Fast broke fashion principle by putting three size 12 to 14 models on the catwalk.

“There was a team change and we’re glad we stuck to our vision,” Ms May said.

Her denial of decision to hire the plus-size models was a publicity stunt.”The choice to use the fuller girls is something we have been talking about,” she said.

There’s this idea that only thin and slender women are capable to wear Mark’s dresses and he wanted to combat that.

Women should know that they don’t have to be a size zero to wear a Mark Fast dress and curvier women can look even better in one.
