Dolce & Gabbana’s decision to offer larger-sized clothing in its pre-fall 2019 collection shows that luxury fashion brands can be more inclusive – and make lines for all women, not just those of a particular size.

Many luxury brands fail to offer inclusive clothes for all women, but the Italian label has made iconic styles in its pre-fall 2019 collection available in an extended range of sizes – and it’s about time, writes Neha Tandon

Fashion exists mostly for us women and a few fashionable men. So why is fashion still not completely inclusive, even after decades of evolution?

Did you know fashion branding began in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth, who in 1858 was the first designer to have his label sewn on to the garments? Did he have any size charts in mind?

Why is fashion still not completely inclusive even after so many years of its inception? Unfortunately, even now many worshipped luxury fashion brands fail to make lines for women – just women, not a particularly-sized woman, but for all

Unfortunately, even now many much-worshipped luxury fashion brands fail to be inclusive when creating collections for women – not one particularly-sized woman – but for all shapes and forms.

Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana’s move to become the first luxury fashion house to extend its size range surely comes as a pleasant surprise. Though the brand has always been in love with feminine sensuality in all its forms, it was time to put it into action.

I love the fact that women who run and rule the world of fashion as consumers can get what they desire now, irrespective of their size. This is how it should be: the consumer demands and the brand supplies.

Gone are the days when women tried to lose weight to fit into the limited range of sizes offered by designer labels.

It’s time to show them all who is boss!

This wave of body positivity has started to phase out age-old notions.

We will eat our burgers wearing our Dolce & Gabbana togs, and there’s nothing anyone can do or say about it.
