Winter\u2019s fast approaching, but another week of body positivity in the news is keeping us feeling toasty inside. Read on for a little inspiration from the models, celebrities, bloggers, and designers who are using their platforms to promote inclusivity and celebrate women of all sizes. Here\u2019s your full recap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Model responds to Victoria\u2019s Secret controversy with \u201cThe Real Catwalk\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned in a recent recap<\/a>, the famous lingerie brand Victoria\u2019s Secret is under fire for lacking diversity in their yearly runway show. Khrystyana Kazakova, a plus-size model and former America\u2019s Next Top Model<\/em> contestant, staged a flash-mob style show in Times Square to celebrate the bodies of people of all ages, sizes, and genders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pro wrestler and Dia&Co friend, Nia Jax, talks body positivity<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Nia Jax grew up in a family of wrestlers, she never imagined herself in the ring because she thought she didn\u2019t have the right body for the industry. After encouragement from her aunt, she realized that she could do anything she wanted to\u2014and that she was just as worthy of following her dreams as anyone else. Now she\u2019s a body-positive icon who hopes to use her experience to inspire little girls and boys all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Fashion blogger reminds us to never read the comments<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison Gary, the woman behind \u201cWardrobe Oxygen,\u201d took to her blog to respond to the body policing in the comments of a recent plus-size fashion-related Washington Post <\/em>article<\/a>. She recounts through her own experience how health and weight are often not connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Size-inclusive designer Prabal Gurung gave the keynote speech at Teen Vogue <\/em>summit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this year\u2019s Teen Vogue <\/em>summit, designer Prabal Gurung explained to the audience why he\u2019s a big proponent of diversity in fashion. Though he admits to having been part of the problem in the past, it\u2019s through designer collaborations, the casting of models in his shows, and the celebs he dresses for the red carpet, that he continues to fight for the fashion inclusion he believes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
