Christina Hendricks was recently featured in New York magazine modeling the new lingerie-as-outerwear trend and I must say I am elated by the continuous feature of curvy women across mainstream magazines. I've been a huge fan of the show Mad Men, primarily because of the amazing costumes and script writing. I have dozens of posted noted above my desk with random quotes pulled from the show. Like this one:
"People buy things to realize their aspirations."
Advertisers and fashion editors are realizing that women's aspirations are beyond 34 B cups and size 2 jeans. Women are getting breast and butt augmentations. They are increasing the size of their lips, adding extensions to their hairs and sculpting their bodies to have fuller hips. I don't know about you but the message is clear to me! More Means Sexy!! They have taken notice and are indicating that in fashion. If we can't find our fantasy, ambition or goal in an ad we're going to tune it out. Women of fuller figures are going to buy into a product that says; "I meet your needs!" If it doesn't say that we're on to the next! Fashion shouldn't sacrifice our sexiness, it should be an extension of who we are.
So glad that the fashion world is taking notes.
