Just a handful of years ago, the presence of plus-size women at fashion week — or on runways, or working in fashion — was woefully rare. But every season, I see more of you: styled out to perfection, waiting on line at the impossible-to-get-to venue for your next show, fitting right in where the fashion industry told you you never would. Your increased visibility, and your incredible looks, are what inspired InStyle to create a plus-size only street style gallery last season — the very first of its kind in any mainstream publication. You can see those images here. Now, we're back with a second round for F/W 2019, once again shot by plus-size photographer Lydia Hudgens. She tells me that the representation of plus-size women has noticeably increased, just within the last several seasons. "In the past two years, I've shot more street style during NYFW at shows than I have in the eight years previous. I'm excited for the direction we're going.We work harder because of what we're given, and honestly, that's impressive as hell. That in itself should prove that we're worth spending the extra time and money it takes for brands to expand into plus. For those plus-size women showing up to NYFW and bringing your game, I salute you." Lydia will be hitting up shows and events throughout the week to add more looks to this gallery, so keep checking back for more plus-size street style inspiration. 01 of 62 Samantha Jane Scott Lydia Hudgens 02 of 62 Patrick Starrr Lydia Hudgens 03 of 62 thethickproject Lydia Hudgens 04 of 62 Ashley Griffin Lydia Hudgens 05 of 62 A NYFW attendee Lydia Hudgens 06 of 62 Scarlett Hao Lydia Hudgens 07 of 62 Kelli B and Jessica Torres Lydia Hudgens 08 of 62 Mecca James-Williams Lydia Hudgens 09 of 62 A NYFW attendee Lydia Hudgens 10 of 62 Gabriella Karefa-Johnson Lydia Hudgens 11 of 62 Kelly Augustine Lydia Hudgens 12 of 62 Michelle Blashka Lydia Hudgens 13 of 62 La'Tecia Thomas Lydia Hudgens 14 of 62 Allie Provost Lydia Hudgens 15 of 62 Lydia Hudgens Lydia Hudgens 16 of 62 Gabriella Karefa-Johnson Lydia Hudgens 17 of 62 Olivia Muenter and Amanda Richards Lydia Hudgens 18 of 62 Ashley Graham Lydia Hudgens 19 of 62 Sarah Chiwaya Lydia Hudgens 20 of 62 Kelly Bales Lydia Hudgens 21 of 62 TK Wonder and Cipriana Quann Lydia Hudgens 22 of 62 Kelly Augustine Lydia Hudgens 23 of 62 Ana Asmood Lydia Hudgens 24 of 62 Scarlett Hao Lydia Hudgens 25 of 62 Maxey Greene Lydia Hudgens 26 of 62 Anastasia G.
