(2023十堰模拟)Hunter McGrady's All Worthy range was launched in April when the
coronavirus pandemic most affected the world.Despite the social restrictions that remain in
place in many nations,some of the pieces in her website sold out in a week and one in
particular-a black jumpsuit sold out in minutes.
She has come a long way since she struggled against a series of rejections from modeling
agencies and agents who told her she would never make it in the fashion world."I was really
upset and thought that I wouldn't be good enough unless I lost the weight they asked.Now,I
let it roll off my back."
McGrady was born in southern California on the west coast and her mother was a
former model.Although McGrady had strong passion for the fashion industry in the early
days,she felt her looks had been frequently judged unsuitable by short-sighted critics."For
both females and males,larger,fatter people are mostly ignored in the glossy fashion world.
The ultra-thin models are considered the most attractive,even though the vast majority of
ordinary women are on the curvier side."
The All Worthy fashion line includes a range of sizes from XXS to 5X.McGrady and
other large women model the range for the line's website.She was inspired to create the
fashion range by the lack of attractive and well-made clothes that fit her."The mission of
All Worthy is to create a line that caters to women of all different shapes and sizes,she
says."I hope all types of beauty can be shown to the public."
