Designer Wendell Rodricks' show was an ode to plus-size women. 

In its second year, aLL, the plus-size store, chose to collaborate with Wendell for a collection titled aLL PRIMERO.

The collection was aimed at breaking popular myths regarding plus-size clothing in the fashion industry.

Whoever said that fashion weeks are all about slinky models, needs to think again.
Transgender model Varonica Campabell strodes the ramp, dressed in a stylish blue and red dress. This is not the first time a transgender model walked the LFW ramp. Earlier this year, Anjali Lama was one of five new faces to walk at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2017.

The collection had something in store for plus-size men too. Here was a show that broke myths about plus-size fashion where colour, style and fabrics were concerned.

A model walks the ramp in a flattering dress. It's time to stop hiding those sexy curves behind dull clothes.
