Traditional runway shows simply don’t include bodies that look like the average person’s — or clothes that fit them. Fortunately, there are brands are changing the narrative surrounding what fashion week should look like:
, but progress is still slow. Only 12 runway shows featured plus size models and less than 45% of the models who walked in shows were models of color . It's exactly why events like Runway Redone are so refreshing — they send the message that style is universal, and not only reserved for those who are thin, white, and beautiful according to society’s narrow standards.
“When women see other everyday women participate in a NYFW event, it proves that fashion is for everyone, not just limited to a specific group of people,” McGrady tells me. “Diversity on the runway means all walks of life, not just plus-size models...that, to me, is fashion.” While it may take decades for NYFW as a whole to achieve the type of diversity that Runway Redone showcased on September 4, McGrady thinks that evolution is possible.
“I do think inclusive fashion shows like Runway Redone will evolve traditional spaces like NYFW, and DSW took the next step with an open casting call,” McGrady says. “While I’m always excited to guess who will diversify the runway next, I can’t wait for the day when all retailers and brands use the runway as an accurate representation of women everywhere.”
