Going beyond just appearances—as it were—9Honey’s Shelly Horton spoke with Leina Broughton, the creative director of inclusively sized brand Leina & Fleur, which caters to a size 8-24. Per Broughton’s digging, many of the labels which debuted collections only catered up to a size 14, with many actual measurements skewing smaller anyway.
“I went through the list of labels that were there [at AAFW] and checked to be really clear.In all of the 70 labels in Fashion Week only four labels offered a size 18,”
Broughton shared.
