We want to see how these clothes look on women who look like us, not 18 year old stick figures (and size 8 models should not be used to model plus size). We come in all proportions, ages, and coloring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953342 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 09:34:43 +0000 Mainelady 1953342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This post makes me very happy. Angie, you are right, that you shouldn’t have to highlight the diversity. It should be the norm, but since it isn’t (yet), you are doing a huge service to both the industry and humanity by raising the level of awareness. Diversity shouldn’t be a trend, but you are helping to make it one. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953325 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 07:27:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1953325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s hard to be sure from just a picture, but it looks like none of these highlight the “exoticism” of non-white models or non-Western cultures, as was common in the past. If that’s right, it is great to see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953321 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 07:01:21 +0000 Cardiff girl 1953321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep,I ve actually seen a woman over 30 in one of the main fashion magazines and the world didn’t stop spinning,good on you for highlighting this issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953315 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 05:59:02 +0000 Mirjana 1953315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see a lot of changes in the fashion world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953297 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 02:57:06 +0000 Jaime 1953297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, a lot of big changes in the fashion world.

But..at least it’s moving. Now... if only retailers were moving....in the 30 years I’ve been in the retail profession it actually feels like woman are losing ground....but maybe it’s because I’ve been out of the fashion end of retail for 20 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953265 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:29:42 +0000 Windchime 1953265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diversity on the runway is SO refreshing! And how wonderful for you to bring these examples to us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953262 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:23:34 +0000 cindysmith 1953262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I just love you to pieces.</p> <p>because fashion should just be diverse. Full stop.</p> <p>So freaking true! </p> <p>Designers need to understand: Everybody needs clothes, and everybody would like nice looking clothes. Quit ignoring the vast majority of the women on the planet!</p> <p>Enough soapbox ranting, I'm just preaching to the choir anyway because y'all already know this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953253 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:02:40 +0000 Angie 1953253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nodding my head with all of you, and fixed my typo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953237 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 22:49:00 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1953237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great highlights!&nbsp; Good to see at least some movement in the direction of casting a wider net and representing a broader range of markets that reflect all of us.&nbsp; #1, #3 and #6 are my personal favorites!&nbsp; But I like all of them&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953231 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 21:36:25 +0000 Janet 1953231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see improvement — may it continue and expand! The notion that fashion only looks good on skinny young things is annoying and outdated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953222 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 20:48:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1953222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953218 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 20:29:23 +0000 Jane 1953218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so good to see. Such a very welcome change and shift in attitudes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953217 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 20:08:47 +0000 Angie 1953217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gretchen</b>, YES. Prabal Gurung and Tadashi Shoji deserve a diverse mention. So do Vivienne Westwood and Gypsy Sport. And MANY more US retailers are extending their size assortment.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953214 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 19:52:16 +0000 Gretchen 1953214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really glad to see this, and hoping we will continue to see the growth. I know Christian Siriano has gotten a lot of press for his commitment to diversity. Are there any other houses or specific designers that are showing the same commitment? I have a feeling that D&amp;G has shown more age range recently, but don't have details.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ruway-diversity-fallwinter-2018#post-1953213 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 19:46:58 +0000 Angie 1953213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not <i>nearly </i>diverse enough - and I shouldn't need to draw attention to runway diversity<i><b> </b></i><b><i>because fashion should just be diverse. Full stop.</i></b><i><b><br /> </b></i><br /> But it's a start, and better than where fashion was even three years ago. So I'm highlighting it in summary form since most don't follow the shows: </p> <p><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-menswear/daks/slideshow/collection#34">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....lection#34</a></b></div><div><b><br /> </b></div><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-ready-to-wear/christian-siriano/slideshow/collection#66">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....lection#66</a></b></div><div><b><br /> </b></div><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-ready-to-wear/gypsy-sport/slideshow/collection#7">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....llection#7</a></b></div><div><b><br /> </b></div><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-ready-to-wear/gypsy-sport/slideshow/collection#">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....ollection#</a></b></div><div><b><br /> </b></div><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-menswear/vivienne-westwood/slideshow/collection#4">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....llection#4</a></b></div><div><b><br /> </b></div><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-menswear/vivienne-westwood/slideshow/collection#11">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....lection#11</a></b></div><div><b><br /> </b></div><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-ready-to-wear/vionnet/slideshow/collection#11">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....lection#11</a></b></div><div><b><br /> </b></div><div><b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-ready-to-wear/prabal-gurung/slideshow/collection#18">https://www.vogue.com/fashion-.....lection#18</a></b></div><br /> Look at the pics for highlights. xo </p>
