# Body-Positive Fashion Runways The Chromat Fall 2018 Showcases Models of All Shapes, Sizes & Color By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-02-13 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodypositive-fashion References: [vogue](https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-ready-to-wear/chromat) & [chromat.co](https://chromat.co/) It is a difficult task to produce a well-structured and all-inclusive body-positive fashion show, but for Chromat's designer Becca McCharen-Tran, that has never been an issue. For the Ready-to-Wear Fall 2018 collection, the fashion house sets the spotlight on [bold colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025), [revealing silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow), quirky sunglasses, expressive make-up and models that vastly vary in build and ethnicity — "a million different kinds of allure, [...] flaunting a life-affirming body confidence." The Chromat body-positive fashion runway show is centered around the theme of Escapism. Models, wearing skimpy bikini tops with cord-accented flowy pants, [sporty swim suit ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle) with thigh-high stockings and suggestive mesh detailing, dominated the show. Encouraged by the audience's applause, the Chromat body-positive fashion collection also features some unlikely non-clothing related accessories, such as soda cans and Cheetos that were held or placed in the pockets of the garments, challenging the notion of model starvation.
