#InYourSize Campaign

“What size are you?” – A question we hear often throughout our lives. “I am a size…” – An answer we often give throughout our lives. But what does your size actually mean? Are you only one size? Does your size change? Last year, through #SameSizeDifferentEyes – we showed that no two bodies are exactly the same – even if those bodies are the same “size.” But size issues haven’t gone anywhere – and they most likely won’t for quite some time. There’s a lot of talk about size inconsistency between brands, size charts not lining up…

Model of the Month: Liz Richards

Next up in our Model of the Month Series is Liz Richards! Liz has modeled for SmartGlamour for the #ImFlattered campaign and also our Winter/Holiday 2015 Look Book. We asked her a few questions about her SmartGlamour experience. 1. Aside from occasionally modeling for SmartGlamour – what do you do? I’m a stage and event manager, and a theater podcaster and blogger! 2. How did you get involved with the brand? I knew Ian (SmartGlamour Designer Mallorie Dunn’s husband) since we worked together on a play entitled Balm in Gilead in 2010, and when he started posting about what his…

Fashion and Beauty Are for Everyone

Wednesday night I had the amazing privilege and honor to attend a panel discussion, A Culture of Extraordinary, hosted by The Li.st. The panel included the ever fabulous Stacy London, Marie Claire’s Lea Goldman, Vixxenn’s Nicole Sanchez, and my friend Julie Sygiel of Dear Kate.

I will admit that I was rambling a bit from nerves – (Stacy is a huge inspiration of…

Three “Real People” Does Not Equal Body Positivity

It’s Fashion Week – as I’m sure you all know – and once again DKNY has used “real” people in their runway presentation. I’m always taken aback by the coverage of these additions – because firstly – it implies that the actual models are somehow less “real” than the new additions that were so-called “street cast.” My second problem lies within the fact that these three women pictured above are the proclaimed “real” people. Interesting how they all look like models, are shaped like models, and even have some model-esque photos of themselves lying around on the interwebs. I’ll give…
