Australian Fashion Week (AFW) may continue to feature traditional sample sizes, despite the industry’s efforts to promote diversity. Designer Alix Higgins, who is preparing for his fourth solo show at AFW, hosted an open casting call that allowed models of all sizes to participate. However, the majority of models who posed for his camera were still sample-sized. Curve models face challenges in finding representation and exposure in the industry, with many struggling to see themselves in the fashion world. The lack of representation has led to the creation of a digital magazine, Curve Rapport, to showcase plus-size fashion.
