Plus size model

Two fashion week stylists chose to quit over working with the plus size models that the designer wanted to include in his show. Knitwear designer Mark Fast wanted to incorporate the size 12 and 14 models to show that his styles could be worn by anyone.

The creative director who quit said that the decision to abandon the team two days before the show was due to “creative differences,” reported the Daily Mail.

“There was a team change and we are glad we stuck to our vision,” she said.

The offending models were Laura Catterall, 20, a size 14, Hayley Morley, 21, a size 12, and Gwyneth Harrison, 25, a size 12-14.
