My Print Plus Size Fashion Editorial in SLiNK Magazine

It’s not often I see a body like mine, short and visibly fat, in the pages of a fashion magazine. I had the amazing opportunity to create a fashion multi-page editorial and feature for UK-based and I have to say that this is one of my proudest accomplishments.

I have fought to not only show others but also my own self doubt that I deserve to have a place in fashion. This is the same doubt that kept me from applying to fashion school. And now here I am in the pages of a magazine in a feature that I modeled and styled. I have a voice and a vision in fashion that’s worthy of being seen and heard. Walking into Barnes & Noble and flipping through multiples pages of my own work, was pretty damn satisfying. I appreciate SLiNK for giving me this opportunity to show what I can do.

I quickly called upon my fellow Cleveland based creatives to assist me in this shoot: and . These women helped me truly bring this vision to life. We shot this editorial on a 20-degree day in March and below you’ll find my favorite images. If you want to see which ones made it into print and which did not, you’ll have to or yourself at your local Barnes & Noble or online.
