TALK OF THE TOWN
It seems appropriate to take a minute to mention the girl on everyone’s lips throughout and after the VAMFF – American plus size model ASHLEY GRAHAM. She’s a big advocate for many things, most importantly the acceptance of all body shapes in the fashion industry. Graham, who covers this month’s issue of BAZAAR Australia, walked the runway at the festival wearing two gorgeous pieces. The first being a long sleeve green teal gown by JASONGRECH, featuring a thigh-high split and a cross halter neck. Her second show stopper was a sheer long-sleeved black dress with white embroidery, by Thurley. This girl made waves over the last week for all the right reasons and we love it.
