The Plus Size Fashion Frontier
The fashion industry is a huge force in modern culture, not only the haute couture high-end fashion shows but influencing the day to day look of the modern workforce. All forms of media scrutinize every twist and turn of the fashion industry, from the eccentric geniuses running the fashion houses, to coverage of this seasons 'in look'. Traditionally one section of population has been restricted from this fashion culture - anyone of "plus size". Many of the high street retailers no-longer cater for this growing segment, in fact many normal-sized people find they no longer fit into the size of clothing they have become accustomed to buying. For the plus-size shopper this has made finding clothes even more difficult, they want well made fashionable clothes available to the rest of the population. Whether this has been due to retailers not stocking conventionally lower selling product lines to clothing maker's reluctance to design for a larger size is up for debate.
