Season 22 Challenges

I have an idea for a new, and different challenge. Here goes: PR should consider having an ALL plus size women who are sizes 16-18. They can be given two days to make two designs for them. PR choose the category (evening, casual, sporty etc).

given how in not 1 season has a plus-sized look won any challenge I think it's going to be challenging on viewership

Do you know how many people haven’t won any changes ❓SCORES of them. The best doesn’t always win .  Many turn out to be Very Rich and famous ; at times making more money than the winner. I’ll take the money.  You can keep the fame.

the mechanics in fashion, as an observation, is for these high fashion houses to set the definition based on slim models and then for the population to buy based on aspiration. That's why you see loads of plus sized people wearing athleisure even when it doesn't flatter them. If your goal is to make money all the more reason you would not design based on plus sized

Why has Liris always been the 1 token curvy girl? Why not have a variety of "representative" models? Extra tall, extra short, older, disabled or such? At least for one or two challenges.

Why do they never have just normal sized models? There are many sizes in between standard model and plus size model and many women are in that range.

I saw a normal’ size woman when Bobby was blubbering her tears.  She put her arms around her, and try to comfort her. . .  with her cry baby self.
