SLiNK, the "plus-size" magazine that loosens up fashion

The most beautiful nudes in painting are models with hedonistic curves. Throwback. "Women's beauty doesn't stop at a size 36 “, strikes in the columns of the Independent Rivkie Baum, SLiNK Editor-in-Chief , a new English magazine that wants to reconcile trendy and "plus size", and which is already sending heavy, with a distribution in 15 countries, because it is necessary to return to the objective:"Changing the reputation of high fashion size. »

Fashion in general seems to be adopting this "format" more and more. In November, Vogue magazine was applauded for its "all sizes" lingerie shoot, where you could enjoy models like Candice Huffine, Ashley Graham, Marquita Pring... A shoot that echoed the new Calvin Klein campaign embodied by Myla Dalbesio and her size 42 Not to mention the Pirelli 2015 calendar which opens, for the first time in 51 years of house, its months to a plus size model (hallelujah).

Multifaceted

Two weights, two measures. Some see this trend as a form of "danger". While plus-size models make it possible to reconcile with body image, they would also send the wrong message:overweight =good health.

SLiNK has already anticipated criticism. “We are fully aware of our responsibility to promote a body image that is both physically and mentally healthy “, further argues Rivkie Baum, who puts forward a health section, and is also proud of a novelty specific to the magazine:at SLiNK , no Photoshop on the beads, just Photoshop for the light settings (alleluia bis).

FLASH. What if ALL the magazines, in their fashion pages, converted to the diversity of bodies, that sizes XS rubbed shoulders with M and XL in a joyful "fashion democracy". A multifaceted world without between oneself. Utopian?
