Fashion can be fabulous. It can inspire us to reinvent our style. It can be artistic. It can be fun. It can unleash new sides of our personalities. Fashion can make us feel fantastic, when we get it right. However, fashion can also be elitist and discriminatory. Designer fashion is clearly only really accessible to those with large amounts of cash to burn or those for whom labelled fashion is a top priority. Catwalk shows are notoriously hard to get into unless you can boast some impressive contacts within the fashion world. And the kind of people associated with fashion, whom we are led to believe are appropriate to model high end fashion, are all tall and frequently shockingly thin. The ideals of beauty on the catwalk seem to be highly prescriptive. Thank fully, this issue is starting to be addressed. Plus size models now feature in many of the most important and influential catwalk shows. Clothes are no longer created solely for those with ''clothes hanger'' frames, they are also made for real women with real, feminine curves. Whilst the haute couture sector of the fashion market may have been excluding plus size women from their clothing ranges, the high street fashion market has truly turned a corner. Plus size clothes collections that are every bit as stylish and fashionable as the regular collection now feature in many of our most popular high street stores. Shops such as New Look make their money by taking catwalk trends and transforming them into wearable and affordable items of clothing on our high streets. The designers behind the brand now acknowledge that these catwalk trends can also be tailored to suit the more voluptuous woman with the right styling and vision, leading New Look to be pioneers of one of the best plus-size high street collections. New Look and other similar high street brands are also working on catering for tall women, petite figures and those expecting a child. Fashion should be accessible to all, no matter what you look like, how old you are or what you are doing with your life. Finally it seems that the high street is starting to accept this and hopefully the world of high end designer fashion will not be far behind. Great fashion makes women feel great - an experience that ought to be available to everyone regardless of age, race, creed, size or income. Now the plus size category is finally getting coverage on the catwalk, there is one category yet to be represented in this sphere: the average size woman. Most women in Britain are between a size 10 and 14 - too small to be a plus size model and too big to be a normal one. We can only live in hope that one day the industry will acknowledge the average woman and design clothes for her too. In the meantime, we''ll have to make do with the high street.
