When will fat women be accepted at Fashion Week...  

I've never had the privilege of attending a fashion week event, but from what I am seeing on the internets, not much has changed. 

Also, should be only celebrate our bodies when they fall within societal standards? Confidence from just overcoming.

No makeup talk this week, but more to come. 

P.S. Trigger warnings for mental health illness, body images, diet culture, NYFW.
