Plus Size Fashion News: Model Hayley Hasselhoff Is Working On Her Own Clothing Line For Plus Size Women
Plus model Hayley Hasselhoff is currently in Australia attending the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival and she spoke with Daily Mail UK on her plans to create her own clothing line for women of all body shapes and sizes.
She told Daily Mail UK:
“I’m working on it. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and it’s happening.”
Hayley has been an advocate for positive body image and very vocal on her feelings about the plus size fashion industry as well as the term “plus size”, which she embraces and celebrates.
She also shared with Daily Mail UK…
Her thoughts on the lack of fashion available for plus size women:
“It just baffles me. If you don’t want it in store, fine, but at least have it online because at the end of the day, it’s really good for your business. Why don’t the high-end designers expand their sizes? We’re over here going ‘Please give us something’ and it’s like, why doesn’t Chanel or Dior see that they have such a big opportunity? ‘There are some brands that are doing it, like Calvin Klein does a 24 waist and Diane Von Furstenberg, if you want a long dress because she knows how to fit a woman’s curves like nobody’s business.”
Her advice to women when choosing what to wear:
“You have to dress for you and dress for what works for your body type, not what a magazine tells you works for a curvy girl. ‘There’s so many different body types, so it’s really about taking control of your own life and going into a department store and trying on high-waisted to low trousers, and dresses to over-sized tights to whatever makes you feel confident.”
Her thoughts on the belief by some that plus size models glorify obesity and are not healthy:
“I can’t speak for every plus sized model, I can only speak for myself but for me, yeah, I’m healthy. I exercise because I like to release my endorphins, not to lose weight. I feel better, I have more energy when I work out, I feel healthier, and for me, I would gravitate more towards a quinoa and kale salad rather than a cheeseburger but that’s just my preference.”
“There‘s probably girls in this industry who don’t work out and don’t eat well, but that’s just the same in the straight industry as well. Skinny doesn’t mean healthy. Some of those girls in straight size are naturally that thin: they eat whatever they want and they don’t work out. That doesn’t mean they’re healthier.”
We’re excited to see what Hayley’s new clothing line will offer and we have our fingers crossed that her collection will truly be for all women and not stop at a size 22. We also love her honest take on the industry and how confident she is in her skin.

SwimStar All Stars Partnership With Renowned Plus-size Model and Swimsuits For All Ambassador, Denise Bidot
Inclusive Swimwear Brand Collaborates with Prominent Plus-Size Model Denise Bidot to Empower Aspiring Models…
Swimsuits For All, a pioneer in inclusive swimwear, proudly introduces its inaugural SwimStar All Stars campaign in partnership with renowned plus-size model and Swimsuits For All ambassador, Denise Bidot. This collaboration marks a significant milestone, nearly a decade following Denise’s groundbreaking “Beach Body, Not Sorry” campaign with Swimsuits For All in 2015, which showcased unretouched imagery aimed at promoting unapologetic confidence.
Denise Bidot and Swimsuits For All have jointly unveiled the SwimStar All Stars nationwide search, dedicated to discovering emerging talent in the realm of swimsuit modeling. Encouraging aspiring models to share their personal narratives, the initiative aims to inspire women of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes. Following a rigorous selection process, Brittany Wilborn, Camryn Henry, and Sharon Clawson emerged as the chosen winners. In January 2024, these models embarked on a transformative journey to Harbour Island, where they had the unparalleled opportunity to shoot alongside Denise under the expert direction of internationally acclaimed photographer and director, Ben Watts.
Reflecting on the initiative, Denise Bidot remarked, “This was a truly exceptional opportunity to celebrate the diversity of plus-size models and cultivate an atmosphere of support, empowerment, and knowledge sharing. The camaraderie on set was palpable, and I am deeply honored to impart the wisdom and insights I’ve garnered throughout my career. Opportunities like these are scarce for plus-size models in the industry, and it has been a privilege to collaborate with the exceptional team at Swimsuits for All to bring this campaign to fruition.”
The models showcased the latest swimwear offerings from the Swimsuits for All 2024 collection, featuring innovative designs tailored to meet the diverse needs of women, including:
Feel-good Fits: Addressing common concerns such as tummy bulges and fit issues, Swimsuits for All offers a range of fits designed to instill confidence and comfort in every body. Incorporating features like Power Mesh for a smooth, flattering silhouette, and adjustable straps for customizable support, the collection caters to various body types.
Bold Prints & Colors for Summer: The summer swimwear collection boasts vibrant colors and captivating prints, injecting excitement and personality into beach and poolside attire. From vivid neon hues to tropical motifs, the collection encourages self-expression and style experimentation.
Liquid Shine: Introducing Liquid Shine, a striking swim fabrication characterized by a glossy, liquid-like finish, adding an edgy allure to beachwear. Available in multiple silhouettes, including bikinis, Liquid Shine ensures you stand out with confidence.
Bikinis that Suit You Best: The Mix & Match Bikini collection offers a personalized approach to swimwear, allowing individuals to mix and match colors and silhouettes for a bespoke look tailored to their preferences.
Beyond showcasing inclusive swimwear designs, the SwimStar All Stars campaign embodies a celebration of women uplifting one another in an industry often marked by competitiveness. Throughout the week-long shoot, models engaged in one-on-one sessions with Denise, fostering meaningful dialogue about the evolving representation of plus-size bodies in swim and fashion.
Jordan Hauser, Senior Director of E-Commerce & Marketing, expressed, “This campaign transcends conventional notions of body positivity and representation in the swim and fashion industries. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and authenticity in reflecting the diverse experiences of our customer base. We are committed to fostering a movement where women find strength in unity, and we are thrilled to embark on this journey alongside Denise Bidot, one of the industry’s foremost advocates for inclusivity.”
The summer 2024 swimwear collection is now available. For further details about Swimsuits For All and the SwimStar All Stars campaign, please visit www.swimsuitsforall.com.
