VAWK Model Call Asks for ‘Diversity’ But Not in Height

vawkcastingcallsmall

ShareProject Runway Canada winner Sunny Fong is known for using a wider range of sizes for his line, VAWK, but once again, he is ignoring the shorter woman in his casting call for his upcoming Toronto Fashion Week show. While the call does allow for non-runway height women (5’6″ and above, without heels), I cannot [...]

Should H&M Have a Petite Line?

ShareI saw a Tweet from @hmusa recently about the fact that the plus department in the US is rebranding from Big & Beautiful to the more appropriate H&M+ name.  Sizes this department will carry will range between 14 and 24.  While I knew that H&M had plus sizes, I can’t help but wonder if they’ll [...]

ShareI’m shorter than my mother.  This is a rarity, especially for first generation Canadians with immigrant parents.  You’re pretty much expected to be taller than your mom.  When I was a little girl, I expected to be around 5’6″ or 5’7″ – one to two inches TALLER than mom.  Never happened.  I reached my current [...]

What? No Size A, Joe?

Share Size B is the smallest size of tights Canadian brand Joe Fresh sells, fitting women who’re 5′ even to 5’6″ and 110 lb to 140 lb.  While 5’6″ at 110 lb is very skinny, 5′ even at 110 lb is pretty average for that height.  It’s as if they’re considering more average-heighted skinnies, but [...]

Donatella Says ‘No’ to Real Women…

ShareAccording to Stylite and New York Daily News, a photo shoot involving “real women” (all recent university graduates) wearing pieces from the Versace for H&M collection has been cancelled because all press-related Versace images must go through the authorities and Donatella doesn’t approve of using non-models.OOOKKKAAAAYYY. Both publications also reported that they sent Donatella and [...]

Petites at LG Fashion Week: Day 3

Erin

ShareAnother busy day at LG Fashion Week, Wednesday.  I went to five shows yesterday, including LABEL, Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh.  I saw quite a few dresses (especially at LABEL) that looked extremely short on the models.  If the pieces stay that length in final production, then yes, they would indeed be very petite-friendly!  For [...]
