Book Overview

Lydia Hudgens's debut photo book, featuring only plus-sized models: a first in fashion publishing.

In a landscape where magazine covers are still dominated by skinny bodies and Fashion Week runways have moved backward in the models that are walking, Plus breaks with business as usual and features only plus-sized models in a celebration of diverse fashion and a demand for the industry to move forward.

Divided into three chapters--"Beauty," "Editorial," and "Body"--Lydia Hudgens's photography celebrates the beauty of all bodies, and the figures who've pushed fashion forward to welcome more people in. Alongside shoots of models, Plus features interviews with trailblazers like Kellie Brown who've made their mark on the fashion world.

The fashion industry needs to keep evolving, and these icons, models, and Hudgens are helping to make it happen.
