Body positivity in the past? Guardian talked about changes on fashion catwalks.

Fashion industry experts are concerned about the trend of returning to "extremely thin models." In the latest shows, 95% of the looks were presented by women of "size zero" (European size 40-42).

Concerned about this development, experts note that we are witnessing a troubling return to the use of "extremely thin models" in cities such as New York, London, Milan, and Paris.

In the same shows, only 0.8% of the looks belonged to plus-size models (size 52 and above). Also, in the Milan shows, 98% of the models were thin.

Thin models have always been the most popular on the catwalks, but recently, designers have tried to present a broader range of clothing for different body types. As early as 2000, model Jill Kortleve headlined a Chanel show, being the first model in a decade to have a size larger than 42 European.

The founder of the model agency Milk Management, Anna Shillinglaw, claims that we are taking a step back as so many fashion designers see curvier models only as a fashion trend. She also notes that the average clothing size in the UK is UK 16.

While Chanel included several mid-size and plus-size models in its collections, other luxury brands have not joined this trend. Diversity is represented in the collections of new designers.

Paris Fashion Week

Recently, Paris Fashion Week took place. As part of the event, the fashion house L'Oreal showcased its dresses at a show at the National Paris Opera. Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne impressed the audience with daring looks, while Eva Longoria and Jane Fonda also showcased luxurious dresses during the Walk Your Worth show as part of the women's clothing spring-summer "Collection 2025."
