Previously, you would have “Oversize” or “chubby” I said.
Today, curvy “is a buzzword”, so curvy. Another one is “Body Positivity”, the positive attitude to one’s own body.
This has already propagated to the soap maker, Dove, when he campaigned a few years ago with women who looked like drought Models.
Anyone looking for today with #plussize in the case of Instagram, finds millions of entries, including the proof that there are also Bikini-ready bodies far beyond the size 42. And clearly, as always, it is in the network: Not all the like.
Plus Size Influencer on the rise
A Blog is called “mega Bambi”. He belongs to the Berliner Caterina Pogorzelski (38). It comes in a short, low-cut light blue dress for an Interview at the Café.
The lips and nails wearing red, the legs she has in spite of the cold, no tights. “I’m always warm.”
The category of “curvy” she doesn’t, she has no Problem with calling themselves thick. “Well, I am, Yes!”
Caterina Pogorzelski tells the story of her life as a “Plus-Size Influencerin”.
In her youth, the comedienne Hella von sinnen was virtually the only big celebrity wife in Public. You even got your mother a good self-awareness will be taught. “I’ve always been very noticeable,” she says.
“I’m so, so, I look, and I have to work on that.” Live it so much easier when you like yourself. What is remarkable is That a TV channel is showing your whole body or if you can’t give as a stylist only fat people tips.
Also this is something that can show the slow change in society.
Caterina Pogorzelski was discovered at the age of 20 as a Model, she attended a drama school, was a blogger and presenter. In her Podcast, she works on the question of how it is to live as a “Plus-Size woman”.
How? “If you know how to deal with it, actually is very nice.”
What annoys you the most? “That is not any fat people, that he knows the whole day eating chocolate, not moving, what is a healthy diet.”
Her tip for women who have a larger body?
“Stand in front of the mirror. Look at you. To be honest with you. The parts spot on your body that you like, and you start to work. Underline them with your clothing. Work with colors. Not only wear Black, but wear what you like,” said Pogorzelski of the German press Agency.
“And be quiet, too bold.”
Pogorzelski know that Instagram can perform with its stylish and supposedly perfect women enormous pressure. Your Advice? “Subscribe to people, good for you.”
What you see in the fashion industry: “Clearly, there is fashion in large sizes, but still not enough.” In the trend of the fashion is either cheap or expensive, too little in the midfield.
Plus Size conquers the trade
Depending on the manufacturer it starts with the size 40 to 42, in the case of Models even from a size 38 – so the very common sizes.
The fashion company Otto of the Blog “Soulfully” is of “great women”. It’s about “hairstyle tips for a round face”, or winter jackets in XXL, even to the soul topics such as tips for more acceptance.
Blog-team leader, Debbie Lehne says: “We let the Community speak.”
This will be extremely rewarded. “The women do not want to be a special target group.” They had by digitization, the Internet, the Chance to be visible. “The image of women has changed as a result.”
Plus Size does not mean “unhealthy”
The Plus-Size movement not only gets hearts and Likes on the net, it also has critics. Obesity is a Problem and not an achievement, it was said in a ‘world’commentary by 2017.
Model Charlotte Kuhrt on this debate in an Interview with the Blog ‘This is Jane Wayne’ a: you don’t know of any Plus-Size Model, advocate, all of which should now be thick and unhealthy life.
To focus on “just the theme of health because of their physical appearance is superficial and not thought out.”
For men, Claus Fleissner in the case of Instagram shows that fashion also works in XXL in pink Shorts, a gray turtleneck or a sequined shirt. “Even if we are thick, we have, nevertheless, keen on fashion,” says the 41-year-old Social Media Manager from Frankfurt am Main.
He is getting great reactions. In the “gay scene” types, as he “bears hot”. Especially there you can see that the guys are more colorful and fashionable had become.
Fleissner finds: “All bodies have their permission.” In the case of the positive views of the body he sees in society, a slow change in thinking.
The women have a pioneering role. His tip in terms of fashion? Do what you want, not to keep the commandments, for example, that horizontal stripes are fattening. “I love horizontal stripes!”
