The Radisson RED Hotel will make history this November when they host the first-ever fashion show exclusively featuring large men.
A casting call has gone out for SA’s first plus-size male fashion show.
Twelve models are required and gents are urged to join the #PlusIsEqual campaign and follow the journey in the run-up to the fashion show.
Leonie Andereya, Curator at RED, says: “As a brand that welcomes all things different and unique, we are excited to celebrate men of all sizes.
“While it’s promising to see women being a focal point of this conversation, we want to remind people to also include larger men in the movement toward body confidence and equal representation.”
Mitchells Plain plus-size model, campaign spokesperson and founder of Embrace Your Curves, Candice Manuel, points out that men suffer the same insecurities as women when it comes to their body, but it’s not something society talks about.
“We are seeing the awareness starting to grow in the female plus-size model industry, with more women accepting their bodies.
“Sadly, this is not the case for larger men. The #PlusIsEqual campaign allows men to take a stand and say YES, we also love our bodies and want to wear fashionable clothing. It’s time for the guys to shine.”
