In the past few weeks, many statements and messages have been sent to the numerous communities and social networks online from the vast public of “softer-sized” ladies (as well as those who cannot be categorized in a specific size bracket) as a result of the cancellation of Elena Mirò from the official calendar of Italy’s Camera Nazionale della Moda (National Chamber of Italian Fashion).
The online population is in turmoil and sending in thousands of messages. This is the voice of a public of real women, living in close contact with the everyday beauty. Comments made in the heat of the moment by plus-sized models, by the vast public of “softer-sized” ladies (as well as those who cannot be categorizedin a specific size bracket) who all express the disappointment and bitterness for their cancellation from the official spotlightof our catwalks, not so much due to the market target which is quite elevated (35% of Italian women), as much as for the healthyand sunny conception of femininity that was recaptured with such effort over the years.
Many good intentions, words, articles and official documents allthrown to the wind. This is all happening right when a great trend towards this fuller-figured conception of femininity is lighting up the catwalks in the United States with creations by America’s great designers. To those who wish to take Elena Mirò out of the spotlight, we respond with the cheerful, purposeful and proactive attitude that has always distinguished the actions and ideas of this brand by choosing once again to assert its positive philosophy and values through a new, important project.
