IMG NOW SIGNS MODELS NO MATTER WHAT SIZE, AGE OR RACE | FASHION FOCUS

The fashion industry has largely reduced beauty to one size, shape, height, and race for a very long time. Ever since the days "heroin chic" in the nineties, the fashion industry has lacked diversity. All to often, we see the same girls on the runway and in the magazines. 5"10. Size zero. White. Is this what "beauty" looks like to everyone around the world? Top modelling agency IMG seems to have recognised that it is not.

IMG, which represents everyone from Gisele to Joan Smalls to Kate Upton, is now set to starting signing models regardless of their shape, size, age, race, and height. If you've got the talent, they'll sign you. "We want to be an ageless, raceless, weightless agency," IMG Models Senior Vice President and Managing Director Ivan Bart said. "We just want to represent the best people in the industry."

ABERCROMBIE & FITCH'S PLUS SIZE PLANS | FASHION FOCUS

In a bid to attract new customers following dips in sales, Abercrombie & Fitch will start selling clothing in plus sizes for the first time.

The announcement marks a significant departure from the company’s “no plus size” policy, which fails to cater for customers above a size L, or the equivalent of a US size 10 (UK 14).

In recent times Abercrombie has continued to lose out against rival American Eagle Outfitters and fast fashion retailers Forever 21 and H&M.

A&F CEO Mike Jefferies made headlines after a controversial interview where he defended the label’s sizing policy, insisting that “only cool kids” have the right look to shop at Abercrombie.

MOVEMBER INSPIRATION | MEN'S FASHION

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of millions of moustaches around the world, raising awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health.

Movember challenges men to grow a moustache for the 30-days of November, thereby changing their appearance and the face of men’s health. For the entire month, these selfless and generous men known as Mo Bros, effectively become walking, talking billboards for 30 days. Through their growing efforts they raise awareness for the often ignored issues of men’s health.

So, one week into Movember, here are some pictures of inspiration. Can you rock a 'tache like these celebs?

ALEXA CHUNG | CELEB STYLE

Alexa Chung has for a long time now been one of my favourite people.

When I first got really into fashion aged 13, I cut out loads of pictures from my "substantial" pile of magazines I had already collected to stick on my bedroom door. The above image was one of them. She's at Wireless Festival, and quite frankly, just looks cool. With the definitive Mulberry bag in hand, Alexa was never one to shy away from fashion, and it's safe to say her individualism has made her one of today's style icons.

LOU LOU VINTAGE FAIR

I absolutely love the smell of old things. The musty aroma just brings back so many memories of my nan and granddad's house, and makes me feel like a kid again. So it was no surprise that upon entering the Lou Lou Vintage Fair at the Southampton Guildhall today, I was overwhelmed with happiness. Not only was my sense of smell satisfied, but so was my sense of sight. There were so many amazing clothes around, a feast for the eyes, I didn't know where to look!
