Plus sized beauty Ashley Graham recently released her new collection of dresses for spring.

The label Beyond by Ashley Graham aims to encourage girls and women to shop unapologetically.

'I wanted to freshen things up … lower the neckline, raise the hem, and make things a little streamlined. It was important to make sure that curvy girls are feeling comfortable and that straight-sized girls feel like she’s fashion forward as well,' she spoke about the idea behind her collection.

In her message to buyers, she said, wear what you want, be comfortable with who you are.

After her stint at Met Gala where she wore a barely there outfit, Kendall Jenner is back to business.

She stripped down to a black lacy lingerie in her latest photo shoot to promote the brand La Perla.

'The #LaPerlaPreFall17 campaign features #kendalljenner in a surreal Pop Art English garden wearing an intriguing lingerie set adorned with floral embroidered Leavers lace. The platform wedges with matching lace complete the loo,' La Perla wrote on its Instagram page.

Why is no one clapping asks this model

Australian model Olivia 'Ollie' Henderson recently shared her experience of Australia Fashion Week.

In a Facebook post, the model wrote about the 'sounds of silence' she experienced and how it disappointed her.

'The difference this time was that we walked out to a silent room, usually during this portion of the show there would be applause for the designer,' Henderson wrote in her post.

'Then it dawned on me' she continued. 'You can't clap with a phone in hand.'

Henderson was drawing attention to audience behaviour where people are glued to their cellphones to click pictures and post updates rather appreciate or applaud the show they are attending.

The flip side of social media, may we add?
