What Does A Male Plus-Size Model Look Like?

Tuesday, 5 April 2016

PLUS-SIZE MODELS: OFTEN SEXIER, BUT OFTEN SNUBBED BY THE FASHION INDUSTRY.

HOWEVER, SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE CHANGING...

We were inspired by a very interesting post from an Italian make-up artist ClioMAKEUP.

"Plus-size models are often sexier, but, also, often snubbed by the fashion industry. However, something seems to be changing."

That's what ClioMAKEUP says on her extremely successful blog.

There is, in fact, the idea, shared by many, for which the canon of beauty would only be one and absolute.

So many times and more and more often it has been discussed the topic about curvy girls, plus size models and all the eating disorders caused by the stereotypical idea of beauty.

In fact, there's been an increasing recognition in the fashion industry towards female plus size models, but what about the big boys?

Well, yes, there are also plus sized male models, who look great and very sexy. It's a shame, though, that there are only a few agencies that have a section for sizes over 52 and that male models sometimes are more discriminated than their female colleagues.

However, says Clio, something seems to be changing. The world is, slowly, opening its eyes towards this eternal lie, also toward men. Slowly but surely, we're getting there.

One of the most important fashion agency in the world, IMG Models, in fact, hired its first plus sized model, Zach Miko, a 40-inch waist actor and writer, known for Those in Glass Houses (2015), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and A Leg Up (2013). Introducing a new over 52 size section, he is the actual first plus-size male model.

So far, in fact, most of the (few) plus-size agencies with a men's section, concentrated in UK and Germany, were specialised and open to other models or oversized men, remaining a real niche.

This is the first step to fight this stereotypical idea of men's body and fix the lack of plus-size male models in the industry. Everybody needs to be represented.

"I don't care if I have ripped abs" Zach Miko says. Certainly, he looks more like the average men, than all the male models that are foisted on us by the fashion industry as the normality and making anybody else feeling bad for not looking like that.

We want someone real to represent us. Having more plus-size models would help de-stigmatize plus-size men and stop this misleading advertising that generates an ill society.

Spring Has Sprung!

KING OF SS2016

Time to make some room in the wardrobe, folks!

Get rid of all the winter shirts that kept you nice and warm last winter. Let's welcome this spring with something fresh. We identify these biggest men's linen shirts by Ed Baxter as the best shirts for the summer 2016. The comfort of linen fabric is nothing that you can compare, the natural fabric mixed cotton and linen makes the shirt absolutely lightweight and breathable.

While colour is really a matter of personal preference in this case, fit isn't.

This shirt is particularly wide in the body, very comfortable and fresh.

Available in extra large sizes up to 6XL, it's not too tight, not too wide, but true to size.

You'd better check the weather app before taking this one for a spin :)
