Every Friday, we\u2019re bringing you an update on the latest news in the world of inclusive fashion\u2014and this week\u2019s hits include a plus size brand extending their size range to become extremely size-inclusive, an influencer\u2019s new body positive anthem, and Dia&Co\u2019s own party with our pal Rebel Wilson. Here\u2019s some reading for you to stay in-the-know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Troy Solomon, better known as @abearnamedtroy, released a body-positive pop song<\/a>
The banger, called \u201cThicck,\u201d features glamorous acrylic nails, saturated bright colors, and Troy giving his plus-size body as much love as he can\u2014we can\u2019t get enough. We\u2019ve loved the Los Angeles influencer @abearnamedtroy<\/a> for his fashion inspiration, but now we can\u2019t get his song out of our heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Universal Standard is widening their size range to go from 00-40<\/a>
Known for their everyday basics and minimalist aesthetic, Universal Standard has long served plus sizes. They recently expanded their size range from sizes 10-28 to 6-32, and this week, they announced they\u2019ll extend their range to sizes 00-40. We\u2019re excited to hear the news because every step towards inclusivity helps #movefashionforward<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Rebel Wilson celebrates the launch of her holiday collection with Dia&Co<\/a>
On Thursday, October 11th, Rebel Wilson and Dia&Co threw a party to celebrate the release of her latest collection with Rebel Wilson X Angels. Press and influencers gathered at a swanky Chelsea karaoke bar for a \u201cSalty & Sweet\u201d party, inspired by the theme of Rebel\u2019s holiday collection. To complete the concept, the party included a mix of salty and sweet snacks, drinks, and a playlist of varied tunes sung by Broadway actress Tiffany Mann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Trainer Morit Summers explains why we need size-inclusive fitness spaces<\/a>
Gyms have always felt like an exclusive club of extremely fit people, where only a certain type of body was admitted. Morit Summers, a plus size fitness trainer, explains why we need to change that concept and shared how she opened her own studio that\u2019s free of body shaming and completely inclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Actress Danielle Brooks used an all plus size crew to produce her latest photo shoot<\/a>
Not only Danielle Brooks an incredible actress (you probably know her from her role as Taystee in Orange Is The New Black<\/em>), but she is extremely dedicated to plus size representation. As Fashion to Figure\u2019s first brand ambassador under their new parent company<\/a>, Danielle produced her first shoot with the brand. Inspired by her own experience on photo shoot sets, where she never had a plus size stylist, she insisted on an all plus crew. She loved having a stylist who knew how to put her love handles in shapewear and a photographer who understood her angles. Everyone left the set with a strong sense of camaraderie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
