The fashion industry has long struggled to embrace inclusivity, often leaving plus-size women with limited options and minimal representation.
For decades, the industry has prioritised narrow beauty standards over real inclusivity, creating a void for those seeking fashionable, well-fitting clothing that empowers rather than excludes.
In our latest conversation, we sat down with the incredible and rather quirky Becky Barnes to explore how the fashion world can and must evolve. Becky, a champion of plus-size fashion, shared her insights on the changes needed to celebrate all bodies, not just those that conform to outdated ideals. She emphasised the importance of breaking barriers and creating a more inclusive space where everyone feels seen, valued, and confident in what they wear.
Fovi is proud to be part of this movement. By offering handmade, sustainable, and made-to-order clothing, we aim to fill the gap in the industry with timeless designs that fit and flatter women of all sizes. Our approach not only eliminates waste but also ensures that every piece is crafted with thoughtfulness and care, celebrating individuality and empowering women to feel their absolute best.
Becky also spoke about the importance of using platforms to amplify diverse voices and challenge outdated stereotypes that have dominated for so long. As Becky highlights, the journey towards inclusivity isn’t just about offering larger sizes—it’s about shifting mindsets and embracing the beauty in diversity. Fashion should be for everyone, and together, we can create a future where no one feels left out of the conversation.
