Why Is Size 26 The Cut-Off Point For Plus-Size Fashion?

The experience of fat folx already comes with its challenges, but when adding intersectionalities like race, ability, gender, sexuality, and socioeconomic places, the odds of equity are even less favorable. Fat, Black femmes are especially at a disadvantage. When it comes to influencing and consulting work, they are paid less than their white counterparts, if they are even paid at all. Additionally, Black, fat content creators are often excluded from the fashion narrative they helped pave way for. Recognizing the disparities that Black, fat people face is crucial in fighting anti-Blackness and fatphobia in fashion spaces.
