With the media’s obsession about the Jessica Simpson weight gain debacle and the negative message it sends to young girls, it is refreshing to see publications that feature plus-sized celebs on their cover.
We’ve been teased by promo images of Agyness Deyn as Queen Elizabeth II, Iggy Pop and Iris Strubegger. But now we have the official cover of the inaugural first issue of new fashion magazine, ‘Love.’
The cover features the awesomeness that is Beth Ditto in all her glory. The lead singer from The Gossip posed naked for famed photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
By the looks of things in this first issue, Love Magazine is going to be a refreshing and exciting addition to the fashion and pop culture publication library.
Beth Ditto has previously posed naked on the cover of NME magazine.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Plus-size Diversity
- The use of plus-size models in unconventional photoshoots and media outlets presents opportunities for brands to cater to previously excluded demographics.
- Body Positivity
- The increasing emphasis on self-love and acceptance in the media provides opportunities for companies to promote inclusive and empowering messaging in their marketing efforts.
- Alternative Fashion
- The emergence of new fashion publications like Love Magazine encourages experimentation with alternative fashion styles and aesthetics.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion
- Fashion brands can take advantage of the growing demand for body-positive messaging and more diverse representation in their advertising campaigns.
- Media
- Media outlets can benefit from including more diverse representation in their content, catering to audiences seeking inclusive and empowering messaging.
- Beauty
- Beauty brands can capitalize on the growing emphasis on self-love and acceptance by promoting body-positive messaging and inclusive advertising campaigns.
