Finally, Designer Wear Isn’t Only For The Skinny Also Read: Plus Size Models Strutted Down The Runway At The FDCI Couture Week. The brand has been excelling at runway surprises since a few years now (remember Jennifer Lopez stopping the last years show in her iconic 2000 Versace dress she wore for Grammy?) but this just topped that. It was a historic moment for the fashion industry as the fashion brand in its first spread the message of making runways size-inclusive loud and clear. This is the first time Versace cast plus-size models for its runway. Alva Claire, Precious Lee, and Jill Kortleve are the three models who strutted down the Versace runway in their vibrant sea-themed collection and need I say, stole the show. The latest one to have is the luxury brand Versace, who never had a plus-size model walk their runway before but recently made history by casting not one, but three curvy models for their Spring/Summer 2021 collection debut in the Milan Fashion Week on Friday. The brands finally started to understand the importance of making their collection and the show inclusive (or gave in, I am not sure) and have now begun casting models of all colours, genders and sizes. It was only a few years ago that the debate about inclusivity in fashion took off and diversity in terms was representation of plus-size models, black models and transgender models was demanded, rather than expected. Fashion brands like Versace have been notoriously criticised for picking models of certain size, gender and race to walk their runways for as long as one can remember. Some couple decades ago, if sashaying down the runway for a high-end fashion brand with your chin up and eyes brimming with attitude was your dream, you had to look a specific way.
