In the last year, the fashion industry took more and more steps toward inclusivity; female empowerment; and putting a stop to retouching, body-shaming and discrimination. While the industry is still far from perfect, there are a few brands that walk the walk when it comes to being inclusive in every way.
Praise to brands such as Aerie for not retouching bodies and using models of every shape, size and color; brands such as eShakti for providing completely customizable clothing to fit your body perfectly; and finally brands such as ModCloth, Asos and Swimsuits for All that provide clothing from straight through plus-size.
Below we are outlining 13 brands that have shaken things up in the industry and started paving the way toward more body-positive branding.
eShakti
Meet your completely customizable retailer, eShakti, aka your new best friend. The brand offers sizes from 0 through 36W and complete customization through exact body measurements, various options for necklines and sleeves and garment length to fit your height. Talk about a new way to shop without breaking the bank.

ModCloth
ModCloth is your perfect mix of feminine, vintage and quirky. There’s something for everyone, and the company offers garments in straight to plus-size. What’s even better, it actually shows pictures of two models (straight and plus-size) to see what both look like in the garment. Can we get a round of applause, please?
