Diversity in Body Shape and Size: Teaching Design and Communications
Abstract
Teaching students to create products targeting niche markets and specialty sizes is challenging in fashion education. Students often begin their schooling with steadfast ideas about what body type and shape is desirable in fashion. These ideas are learned, promoted and reinforced by students’ role models and inspirational references in the fashion industry.
