​Top Curvy Models AND What ‘Perfect’ Really Means

As part of her monthly column for The Cut, NY Mag's culture section Nadia Aboulhosn (a Bamboo favourite) sits with some of the top 'curve' models in the industry today to talk in depth about the fashion industry, how it is changing, why they feel things still haven't changed and what they hope to see in the future.

I have always identified more with the plus fashion community than the models we are used to seeing down the runway.  At 5'3, little boobed and straddling between a UK 10-12 I am neither thin nor curve but I have loved watching the videos of this talk. Also seeing the beautiful photos by Olivia Malone of an array of beautiful women who are a breath of fresh air to see on screen, styled and dressed in on trend stylish threads.  Interviewing the likes of Paloma Elsesser (another Bamboo fave), Denise Bidot and Iskra Lawrence Nadia gets an insight of the experiences being in this curve industry from diverse angles.  They cover the changing landscape of the fashion industry with more opportunities for girls like them to book jobs, to the fact that though they are curvy girls there is still an imposed version of 'curvy' and that down the line they will be seen as mainstream and not boxed into a sub category.

The full interviews can be found on The Cut and I really encourage and recommend that you watch them!
