Why is plus size fashion failing?

Boob Sweat With Katie Sturino

It's been 9 years since Katie Sturino began talking about fashion for women of all sizes. In many ways, a lot has changed since then. The conversation has made its way to mainstream media, advertising campaigns, and brands focused on creating a full size range have been born.

But have we seen the peak of fashion's acceptance for larger bodies? Big retailers like Old Navy and Loft have swung and missed. Contemporary brands like Staud and ALC have quietly launched extended sizes that disappeared before getting any traction. And now Katie wants to know what’s going wrong. This is the first episode of a THREE PART SERIES exploring the past, present, and future of the plus size fashion industry.
