Has body inclusivity fallen out of fashion?

The Vogue Business inclusivity report found the body positivity movement has 'lost steam in mainstream culture as the pendulum has swung back to the glamorisation of thinness'. 


It's largely credited to Ozempic, largely touted as a miracle weight-loss fix, leading public figures to shed pounds which, therefore, has impacted recent Fashion Week shows. In recent times, models, including Bridget Malcolm, have hit out at the alleged toxic culture within the modelling industry, including at popular lingerie shop, Victoria's Secret, which this week reintroduced its runway show.  

 

Bridget, who is now a mental health advocate, was scouted on the streets of Perth at the age of 14, and by 15 was told by her agent she needed to lose weight. What resulted was a decade-long battle with eating disorders.
