Label Text:As fashion has become more aware of its anti-fat biases and the unhealthy ideals of thinness it promotes, brands such as Chromat, designed by Becca McCharen-Tran, fight the perception that eating is negative and encourage “the message that beauty is expansive and that every body is worthy of love, acceptance and empowering swimwear.” For Chromat’s fall 2018 fashion show, in an act of resistance to food-shaming, models ate Flamin’ Hot® Cheetos® that matched red and orange ensembles while walking the runway.
