There's a reason runway representation is so important. While a brand offering extended sizes is always the end goal, seeing those sizes actually at work on plus bodies has an even bigger impact. Yet unfortunately, for men above a size 36 waist, that's a moment they've only been able to fantasize about. Each season during New York Fashion Week: Men's, plus-size men are constantly let down by the lack of body diversity on the runway.
IMG has spearheaded the big and tall menswear market with many of their models — most prominently Zach Miko — experiencing mainstream success. Even still, the increased visibility that's come from their initiatives, as well as from those of similar agencies, hasn't quite convinced many brands to join yet, especially not luxury ones.
After signing with IMG, Nemar Parchment has quickly risen to the ranks of leading brawn men, starring in campaigns for ASOS, Boohoo, and Old Navy. Although his star is certainly on the rise when it comes to fighting for body diversity in menswear, he explains that it's still hard to break age-old stigmas about larger bodies.
"Obviously we're bigger than some other people… [but] I'm not a rare type of human, especially in America. It's cool that I've been thrust into this role where I can be that pioneer," says Matt Wirken, a model signed to IMG's Brawn division.

Fadd is right: Because of less pressure on men's fashion week — in addition to the fact that it's often the launching point for many emerging designers who are showing for the first time — designers have a unique opportunity to take risks and push the needle forward. But Fadd brings up another vital issue: societal factors. Even in 2020, many men are still afraid to express an interest in fashion in fear of being labeled"gay" or"girly.
That all began to change, however, when he stumbled into modeling — largely because of his iconic hair — and slowly built his portfolio until being signed with Wilhelmina. Now, with access to more clothes that fit for the first time, he's learning so much about himself that he never knew existed.
