Despite my recent wedding dress disappointment (as those of you who follow my Twitter know about) I remain a fan of Igigi and the message sent via clothing and style. The above is part of their newest marketing campaign, using a beautiful plus model to explore new concepts in beauty.
Given the recent studies on self-esteem and the hubbub surrounding the anorexic Ralph Lauren model, I may brave – with your help – dedicating the month of November to “What is beauty?”
If you would like to post an essay here, 500 words or less, about what beauty is to use, please send me a note through the Contact link outlining your pitch (I will contact you back with where to email the full essay.) If you are also a fashion, fatosphere or body positive blogger, I will be happy to provide a small biography, links back to your blog/twitter/social network of your choice and your picture to go with the post.
