Plus-size fashion revolutionizes the way women view themselves and their bodies. By honoring our progress so far, The Power of Plus launches the next stage of the plus-size fashion movement.

Exclusivity runs within the foundation of fashion. While calls for diversity have intensified recently, long-held attitudes are only beginning to change. But through social media, plus-size people have been able to create strong communities that show them to be confident, strong, and beautiful.

Plus-size fashionistas have been writing their own narrative for the past two decades, creating a market all on their own that is now worth more than $21 billion dollars. The Power of Plus features interviews with trailblazers such as Tess Holliday, Hunter McGrady, Gabi Gregg, and more, as it follows the evolution of plus-size fashion from its start on small blogs to its current boom, examines the way this market has changed womenโ€™s relationships with their bodies, and predicts how plus-size fashion is integral to the future success of the industry.

Plus-size fashion is not a PR stunt. It is a culture-changing market created by and for the women and men who have always deserved to feel stylish but never had the visibility to be โ€ฆ until now.

Gianluca Russo is a NYLONย columnist and freelance journalist who has written for GQ, Glamour, Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Fashionista, HuffPost, Bustle,ย and Refinery29. His work has primarily focused on plus-size fashion and representation, and he has reported extensively on the subject, covering brand launches, exploring trends within the market, and investigating taboo topics within the plus-size community. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona.ย 

Chelsea Stephens is an experienced, AudioFile Earphones Awardโ€“winning voice actor with a talent for mystery, sci-fi, and YA novels.
