Here are a few major fashion f*ck ups that could have been prevented. (Trigger Warning - examples of fat shaming below). Sadly, these products and ads exist because the majority of people are oblivious to weight bias.

Honestly, these are just a drop in the pond. We need a serious fashion revolution that does not judge or condemn people for their body size. And body size is just one part of an intersectional fashion ferris wheel where many marginalized groups are rejected from fashion expression. I want to finish a book I started that is designed to help fashion companies and the individuals that work there recognize bias and make adjustments before the majority of the population is mistreated. If only there were more than 24 hours in a day!

At Kade & Vos, we do not use the term "Plus Size". We feel that calling some sizes "Plus Size" means that these sizes and shapes are somehow different from other sizes.
