Mark Fast may not be a household name yet, but you may want to remember the designer when you hear that he hired a number of plus-size models to walk the runway at his London fashion show on Saturday.

It caused such a stir that his stylist and casting director quit two days before the show:

Amanda May, managing director for the Canadian designer said there were “creative differences with regards to the casting of those girls. There was a team change and we’re glad we stuck to our vision.”

May insisted that their selection of larger models was neither politically motivated nor a publicity stunt.

“The decision to use the fuller girls is something we have been talking about. There’s this idea that only thin and slender women are able to wear Mark’s dresses and he wanted to combat that,” she said,

She added: “We wanted women to know they don’t have to be a size zero to wear a Mark Fast dress — curvier women can look even better in one.”

We are totally psyched that he made this move not as a statement, but as a fact of fashion. Women of size want to be stylish too. Let’s see more of it!
