People are complaining about Serena Williams's new fashion line not being size inclusive
Filed under: Lifestyle, Style, Fashion
Serena Williams’s stylish new fashion line has fizzled among her fans who are disappointed in the size selection.
On Wednesday, the Olympian tennis pro released Serena, a 13-piece collection sold exclusively on her website, ranging from $15 to $215, including slip dresses, joggers, crop tops, and bralettes.
The clothes are stylish and the price point is reasonable — as Williams told Glamour, “There are so few people who have access to buy whatever they want, however they want. I want them to be able to buy these clothes.” However, some fans frowned at the sizes, which run from XS to XL, the latter of which is a size 14 and smaller than the average woman, who wears a size 16.
Alongside a video featuring models that was posted on the brand’s Instagram page, many people complained.
“All of the models are THIN,” wrote @ste7301. “I hope this is NOT the only size you are catering to.” @Lucygoosey888 asked, “Why are the models skinny [and] not inclusive of every body shape?” @Allasunder wrote: “I’m with most people here…where are the plus size persons? I love the styles, but I guess I’ll just be window shopping this line only.” And @Kanawhachick wrote, “Would love to see women that look like you. Or at least a little thicker than the models here. A variety of women in ur clothing line would be awesome to see. But gorgeous line so far.”
