These images also helped start a new body image revolution. Both were featured in Glamour magazine and had immediate response with email coming to the Glamour offices. The intense response from readers shows that there is a great want and need for women in fashion magazines who look like today's average women. Women are raised to pick at themselves, groom themselves and evaluate the way they look, we are pressured to be worried about every thing that pertains to our image, afraid that it will affect the quality of our lives, and to be honest, it often does. Fashion is not exactly made to fit all sizes, but maybe as a industry, instead of designing for a size 00 we should rethink our customers and see what they are longing for. It is clear that women are wanting a more figure friendly look, they want to accept themselves as a beautiful being and who are we as designers to make women feel bad about themselves? As a fashion design student that is not something I want to do. I want to empower women, make them feel beautiful, not play on their weaknesses to get them to buy a product.
