The fashion industry is tarnish for it’s heavy-handed use of digital manipulation software, and has fallen under denigration for introducing ‘false images’ into the mainstream and passing them off as real. Industry big-wigs are continually blamed for intentionally misleading consumers by creating false impressions with their products, and more severely, for perpetuating unhealthy body images by ‘slimming down’ their models and concealing their imperfections.
In the last two years alone, magazines and designers alike have come under fire for this exact offense. The most recent breach has been the Crystal Renn argument. Renn is currently the most sought after plus-sized model in the industry; she famously battled anorexia before taking control of her health and speaking out against the unhealthy expectations of models in fashion and the practices that perpetuated her bad choices.
Earlier this year, Renn posed for a Fashion for Passion spread in French Vogue shot by photographer Nicholas Routzen. When the photos were released, however, Renn appeared to be a slender size 2 instead of the voluptuous size 10 that she has become known for.

Lifestyle expert Amy Sewell, of Shop With Style, has some tips to help you put your shopping time to good use by finding fashion that suits your figure.
- The Perfect Suit. Choose a jacket with small pads to define your shoulders and a waist that is slightly fitted to give you a womanly curve. Pants with a flat front and slightly-flared legs will minimize the tummy and create a longer, leaner look. A-line skirts offer good camouflage for fuller hips and thighs; skirt lengths that hit at or just below the knee flatter most figures.
- Keep It Monochromatic. Wearing the same color from head to toe creates the illusion of one long, unbroken line, making you appear slimmer. Think neutrals: black, camel, cream, dark brown.
- Skim, Not Skin. Clothing should skim your curves, so look for fabrics that drape in a flattering way. Heavy fabrics will hide your shape, while super-sheer fabrics and spandex reveal a little too much. Knitwear line Ming Wang is a perfect wrinkle-free and shape-retentive clothing option.

It is incredulous that the consumers by year 2015 will download 25 billion mobile apps to their smart phones. A recent survey by YouGov and Lady Geek has proved that even amongst 18-24 year olds, women were nearly twice as likely to never have downloaded a single app, compared with their male counterparts. That’s right, not a single app. hangs head in shame.
It is going to change and Grazia Daily may be about to change all that. We will soon be launching a weekly online fashion series of Lady Geek’s The App Show hosted by our very own Web Editor Angela Buttolph, who will be showcasing the hottest beauty/fashion/designer/shopping and style apps on offer, and trying them out to decide which the best are and whether they are worth downloading.
