LFW: Real bodies at Mark Fast

So much for all the hoopla about plus-size models. As of now, Mark Fast seems to be the only designer who is using them in a meaningful way, rather than just relegating curvy girls to trend-of-the-month status.

The Canadian once again cast fleshier bodies alongside thin ones in his show. The body types were diverse in an organic way. And the clothes? His trademark body-hugging cobwebby knits were there. But this time he also incorporated draping inspired by the Art Deco period and shapes that moved away from the body.

While Fast deserves many cool points for making samples in a variety of sizes, he should have spent some time thinking about the undergarment problem. The visible panty lines on some models were distracting. And no woman, of any size, wants those.

Agreed with uncouth! With all the faux fur options out there, there is no reason to wear the real thing!
