The fashion industry is slowly opening its doors to plus-size models. The documentary Straight/Curve, which will debut next fall, follows top models, photographers, editors and stylists for two fashion seasons. It dives into the current status of models in the media and whether size zero will remain the norm.
Body positivity has made recent strides. The film emphasizes that the use of stick-skinny, size zero models on runways and in magazines encourages a negative body image among women. The new teaser shows plus-size models, like Jennie Runk and Leah Kelley, explaining how one universal average size does not exist.
