Rental service giving plus-sized clothing industry a makeoverAs a child, you were told not to speak to strangers, but as an adult, you can share almost everything with strangers: cars, homes, bicycles, movies, music, and more.

It's called the sharing economy and this seemingly altruistic shift is big business.

As PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts in its 2015 report, companies that adhere to the sharing economy's business model of access over ownership have the potential to increase global revenues from roughly $15 billion today to about $3 ... Read more »

If you don’t yet recognise the Northern Territories beauty, Mahalia Handley, you soon will.

Despite being just 23 years old, the Aussie model is a force to be reckoned with, having just scored a top secret major European modelling contract and already modelled for the Kardashians' clothing line.

FEMAIL sat down to chat exclusively about what motivates her, how she stays in shape and what’s in store down the line.

'I saw a saying recently which reads "behind every successful woman is a tribe of successful women” and I totally believe that.’

While it may seem that Mahalia is well and truly breaking down barriers, both because she is a plus-sized model and of mixed race of Irish and Maori heritage, she says it hasn’t always been so easy to feel accepted.

‘I still find it hard to see that many girls like me in mainstream media, which makes me think if I can’t see them then I have to become them. As a young g ... Read more »

Fashion blogger Gabi Fresh launches her latest plus-size swimwear collection in 2016Plus-size fashion blogger Gabi Gregg - better known as Gabi Fresh - designs fabulous "fatkinis” for women sizes 12 to 24 that are making a splash.

"I tell my girls to forget every fashion rule,” says Gregg, 29, whose fourth Swim Sexy collection with SwimsuitsForAll goes on sale Tuesday.

"The message that [larger ladies] get when it comes to fashion is constantly what not to wear: If you’ve got big hips, minimize them by wearing black; don’t wear this cut because it makes you look bigger,” she explains.

"Break out of that! Play with those trends you love. You can rock a lot of things you didn’t think you could.”

Gregg went viral in May 2012 after posting a photo gallery of 31 full-figured women in titillat ... Read more »

Irish model Tia Duffy is hoping to ignite a global conversation about body image since landing a new body confidence campaign in Canada.

The 25-year-old plus-size model from Dublin moved to Toronto in 2015, and she has been working for a "beauty without size" approach to the fashion industry.
