‘And, in order to be considered “acceptable” I had to inflict some sort of pain upon it to fit into an archetype of beauty.’
The Detroit native said she was focused on shifting the fashion focus from ‘sad, restrictive shapewear’ that has long been marketed, and launch a line that boosts values such as ‘self-love’ and ‘radical inner confidence.’
The Truth Hurts artist said: ‘Instead of thinking about size in this linear way, we’re thinking about it on a spectrum where everyone is included.
‘Everyone’s size is just their size. It’s not high, it’s not low. It’s not big, it’s not small. It’s just your size.’
