Azzedine Alaia trained as a young man, as a sculptor yet his medium was not clay or stone but cloth. One saw the sculptor in the way he adapted fabrics to women's bodies. The subtle curve of peplum; the gentle sway of a translucent skirt - one forgot clothes could be so beautiful. No gimmicks, no vulgarity, no instagrammable moments. He was the undeniable King of superb clothes, superbly made to flatter & enhance the women he loved. There was nobody like him & nobody with his distinct understanding of cut & proportions.

Let me try to analyze this quote by Osho in relation with Fashion & Body Image. Fashion's relationship with body diversity has always been fraught, says Jenny MacQuaile. In recent years, while consumers are calling for a wider size range on the runway & in stores, there are brands & publications who are reluctant to follow this request. Models are still pressured to lose weight & Parsons professors are lamenting the lack of attention given to designing for larger bodies. This is where I enter this argument.
