Last season Canadian fashion designer Mark Fast made fashion headlines by using plus-size models in his revealing Spring/Summer 2010 runway show. Yesterday at London Fashion Week, the designer stayed true to his vision and used curvy models in his knitwear show again.
While other runways shows featured tradition size zero models, ABC News reports Mark Fast was adamant about making sure his clothes were modeled on real looking women. He has stood by his vision of celebrating all women through fashion regardless of size.
Mark Fast is getting good reviews for his ideas. The fashion critic from the Telegraph said, “I really enjoyed the show because I think Mark has really developed and evolved as a designer… He’s doing things that ordinary people could wear, as the size 16 models demonstrated.”
Mark Fast’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection is much less revealing than his previous show. This season he added more to his collection than just his trademark knitting. The Mark Fast Fall/Winter 2010 fashion show featured tight fitting and draped dresses with detailing at the neckline, light skirts and cropped capes. The colours spanned from neutrals of black and brown to vibrant jewel tones of red and orange.

Fantastic. I hope other designers follow this lead
I love Mark Fast even more now. Hey it is getting him publicity but he deserves it all. Real female bodies on the runway, it’s about time.
I really want a Mark Fast piece just to show him that people support his vision. These days it doesn’t make sense to only design for the super skinny.
I will totally be out buying Mark Fast items to support him and his normal sized models!!
i actually dont think the models look good. i am all about size equality, but these girls don’t lok attractive and the clothes are too tight for them
not attractive models
