Welcome to the sixth episode of ‘The IKKIVI Podcast’. In this episode, we have with us Lilli Hingee, a fashion blogger from Australia who uses her platform to review and showcase brands that offer plus sizes and also encourages people to try a variety of styles by trying it out herself.

In this week’s conversation, we speak about the gaps in representation of diverse bodies in mainstream media, the politics around the image of the ideal body, the challenges faced by plus sized individuals when shopping for fashionable clothing and the distresses in the fast fashion system in the last few decades.

Here, Lilli shares with us the ways in which she has created a community for plus sized women, the need for us to understand our bodies and what we like to wear, the necessity of moving beyond tokenism and see honest visibility in the media of plus sized bodies, and learning to take space and be treated with respect.
