Plus Size Pride ~ A Lingerie Fashion Editorial

Photographed by STEPHANIE HYNES

Writing this preamble about our latest Lingerie Fashion editorial photographed by Stephanie Hynes was somewhat of an eye opener for me. I’ve been discouraging the word plus when referring to curvy women who do not fit into the historically straight size market. My opinion has always been that size is just a number and all women deserve beautiful lingerie without being categorized.  But after a conversation with our model, Tricia Campbell, who I luckily met at a gathering we had both attended, I have a new perspective on the issue. Whereas I am getting tired of the same old marketing buzz words depicting the category, Trish is all about touting “body positivity” and proudly promotes herself as a plus sized woman.  As she explained to me: “Why not? I am plus size and I believe it’s the “New Normal”. She told me that she had a blast at this photo shoot because the products made her feel confidant and sexy. She was thrilled to have the opportunity to show that seductive and supportive lingerie was now easy to find for women like her. In this editorial, we hopefully captured her sense of joy.
