"The Power of Plus will leave you feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to push for real change, as well as confident and encouraged to embrace yourself, just as you are. This is essential reading for anyone who truly cares about the future of fashion, and for anyone who believes in the power of being yourself. " -Versha Sharma, editor in chief, Teen Vogue Plus-size fashion revolutionizes the way women view themselves and their bodies. Exclusivity runs within the foundation of fashion. While calls for diversity have intensified recently, long-held attitudes are only beginning to change. But through social media, plus-size people have been able to create supportive communities that show their confidence, strength, and beauty. Plus-size fashionistas have been writing their own narrative for the past three decades, creating a market all on their own that is now worth more than $21 billion. The Power of Plus features interviews with trailblazers such as Tess Holliday, Emme Aronson, Gabi Gregg, and more as it follows the evolution of plus-size fashion from its start on small blogs to its current boom, examining the way this market has changed women' s relationships with their bodies and how plus-size fashion is integral to the future success of the industry. Plus-size fashion is not a PR stunt. It is a culture-changing market created by and for the people who have always deserved to feel stylish but never had the visibility to be . . . until now. By honoring our progress so far, The Power of Plus celebrates the next stage of the plus-size fashion movement.
" The Power of Plus is something I truly believe society will benefit greatly from. With this book, Gianluca has not only unveiled the truths of the fashion industry but also highlighted the importance of inclusivity, the impact it can have on our current culture, and the impression it will have to last generations. " Hunter McGrady, plus-size supermodel and designer of fashion line All Worthy "Gianluca Russo has been at the front of our coverage on plus fashion. As plus fashion grows as an industry, he' s carved out an important beat at Teen Vogue that focuses on this burgeoning movement. We can always rely on him to tackle trends that matter, uncovering fat discrimination in the industry or helping to reclaim our bodies to have fun with fashion. " Samhita Mukhopadhyay, author of Nasty Women and Outdated: Why Dating Is Ruining Your Love Life "Gianluca has been a fresh young voice in the body positivity space, providing some much-needed scrutiny to an industry that deserves to be questioned. He brings energy and compassion to the conversation, spotlighting the needs of plus-size consumers and elevating a very important dialogue. " Gabrielle Korn, author of Everybody (Else) Is Perfect
