I've been carefully watching designers so I can keep tabs on who to avoid. Dolce Gabbana is on my yes list now, though I'm not super keen on their designs, there's occasionally something I like, so I'll keep that in mind.

I noticed that some of them try to tactfully NOT say what they think about certain issues. I was watching a Karl Lagerfeld interview and, when asked about what he thinks of Brexit, he said 'well, if they drive out the elites, then they won't have any elites, that's just how it works'. A very tactful response I think. I had to watch a few more to decide whether I would wear him or not, but he got me with 'The Germany I grew up in is gone' and 'I've seen some lovely burkas, but they are not for us'. Both quite tactfully stated. He lost a bunch of weight and wrote a diet book, by the way.

Victoria's Secret has been pretty good too, their show had a lot of culturally European inspired pieces, which I thought was pretty cool. They also really defend their models from being thin shamed, and they're constantly showing clips of how hard they work out to earn their shape.

Ones to avoid like the plague are currently Micheal Kors and Calvin Klein, who have both been virtue signalling all over the place, and they have both put fat models on their runways.

how hard they work out to earn their shape.

Triggered!

Seriously think this is what scares the fats the most. Having to earn something instead of being given it.
