Vogue Business has released a report on inclusivity at the past fashion weeks, and its results are disappointing: the number of models with size M and above continues to decrease.

Out of 8,800 images presented at 230 screenings and presentations, only 0.8% were represented by plus-size (XL+) models, 3.7% – medium (M-L), a 95.5% are small (XXS-S).

For comparison, in autumn these figures were 0.9% and 3.9%

Most of the plus-size models were at the brand show Sinéad O'Dwyer — ten mid-size and eleven plus—size models appeared on the podium. Next comes the brand Ester Manas.

Among cities in terms of inclusivity, London leads with 9.7% of medium-sized models and 2.4% of plus-size models, while Paris lost to Milan, largely due to the return of the Ester Manas brand to the schedule.

Is the fashion of 2024 a step back in the issue of inclusivity?
