Plus-Sized Pictorials 'Vive les Fatshionistas' in French Glamour Offers an XXL Perspective

With the coining of fatshionista, another ‘ista’ comes to the fore along with the ubiquitous fashionista, the cringe-worthy journalista, and we can’t forget 2008’s recessionista. Will fatshionista bloggers like those in ‘Vive les Fatshionistas’ come to counter established body norms by providing a more democratic approach to the fashion industry’s impossibly-attainable beauty standards?
