In May of 1995 Paris-based Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa created a Middle Eastern inspired hooded cloak as a maternity dress for Farida Khelfa, his close friend and muse. She was photographed in front of a large mural painted in Arabic calligraphy at the Musée national des Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie in Paris

The Debenhams Summer Lookbook
For Summer 2013, high-end retailer Debenhams worked with campaigner and fashion commentator Caryn Franklin. The result: a truly diverse lookbook that includes Paralympians, models under five feet and “plus-sized” models (I hate the term plus-sized as it is a shitty euphemism…).
As quoted in Refinery29, Franklin explains the rationale for this artistic direction:
“To showcase the range of sizes and labels at Debenhams this season, I chose models to inspire us with their own unique looks and personalities. I loved seeing the way that clothes emboldened each woman and man, and I loved being on a shoot where no two models were the same. As a commentator on the importance of seeing a broader range of body and beauty ideals in our media, I never underestimate the power of great clothes to bolster self-esteem, or the impact of imagery that celebrates difference.”
I love any instance where the fashion industry highlights all shapes and sizes; I just wish that these occurrences were more frequent. Then I’d be less cynical and less likely to think that these glimmers of inclusivity - in such a discriminating industry - are nothing more than simple attention-grabs.
