Tess Holliday didn't just coin #EffYourBeautyStandards, she's also become what she calls a "body-positive activist," inspiring her dedicated followers with every stylish shot she posts to Instagram [1]. That's why we were delighted to learn that the blogger plans to launch her own clothing line [2] — one that will definitely encompass a range of pieces fit for a statement-making street style star.
"I want to see diversity in fashion. I want to see more people that look like the women and men I come across in the street," Tess told Huffington Post [3], adding, "I don't have any styling rules — for me, it's all about wearing what makes you feel good. If that means wearing a Halloween costume, whatever. If that means wearing a chic dress, then cool. . . . So many stores cut off at size 16. There needs to be more sizes."
After starring in H&M's diverse Close the Loop campaign [4], proving she can design a viral t-shirt [5], and rocking a naked dress [6] just as easily as she does a sparkling fringed bolero, we're ready to see a fashion-forward collection that doesn't stop at size 16. Read on to find 12 bold looks Tess has worn that we hope she re-creates.
