Reviews

Gianluca Russo has been at the front of plus-fashion coverage. As plus fashion grows as an industry, he's carved out an important beat at Teen Vogue that focuses on this burgeoning movement. We can always rely on him to tackle trends that matter, uncovering fat discrimination in the industry or helping to reclaim our bodies to have fun with fashion. --Samhita Mukhopadhyay, coeditor of Nasty Women and author of Outdated: Why Dating Is Ruining Your Love Life The Power of Plus is something I truly believe society will benefit greatly from. With this book, Gianluca has not only unveiled the truths of the fashion industry but also highlighted the importance of inclusivity, the impact it can have on our current culture, and the impression it leave on future generations. --Hunter McGrady, plus-size supermodel and designer of fashion line All Worthy Gianluca has been a fresh young voice in the body positivity space, providing some much-needed scrutiny to an industry that deserves to be questioned. He brings energy and compassion to the conversation, spotlighting the needs of plus-size consumers and elevating a very important dialogue. --Gabrielle Korn, author of Everybody (Else) Is Perfect
