" During a recent interview with the Huffington Post, designer and Project Runway: All Stars judge Isaac Mizrahi expressed his concern that fashion is under representing plus-size women.  &amp;quot;I wish the plus-size thing was just integrated properly,&amp;quot; Mizrahi says. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to speak to a plus-size woman differently that I speak to a woman. Do you know what I mean? I don&amp;#039;t want to. Having been plus size in my life, I don&amp;#039;t like being spoken down to and ushered off to the husky section. When I was a little boy I hated that. I was told that I couldn&amp;#039;t wear platform shoes because [they] made me look fat and so for the rest of my life I desperately hate platform shoes, so it&amp;#039;s like these crazy emotional scars.&amp;quot;  Mizrahi also says he objects to the term plus-size because he finds it exclusive and condescending. &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Plus-size&amp;#039; is maybe not the best thing to call something, but what is? You know, I mean, like, that&amp;#039;s my problem with the whole thing. If you&amp;#039;re going to do clothes, you need to do them in a whole size range and/or you know like represent in the right way. In a non-condescending way.&amp;quot; Mizrahi doesn&amp;#039;t see this inclusion being easy, though. &amp;quot;I think fashion should be [inclusive], but not everybody thinks so. By nature, [fashion] isn&amp;#039;t inclusive. By nature people go, like, &amp;quot;oh, look what you don&amp;#039;t have&amp;quot; right? And I don&amp;#039;t like that. That&amp;#039;s what I really don&amp;#039;t like.&amp;quot;  Project Runway: All Stars has been picked up for another season and Mizrahi says he will suggest the producers incorporate a greater variety of body types into challenges. Meanwhile, Mizrahi&amp;#039;s own collection for QVC, he is proud to say, is available in sizes XXS to 3XL, so &amp;quot;everybody can wear what they think they look good in. When they feel comfortable, that&amp;#039;s when it&amp;#039;s right.&amp;quot;  RELATED: Stop Dressing For Your Body Modeling Agency Now Signing Models Regardless of Size, Race, or Age Why Don&amp;#039;t Designers Have Clothes to Fit &amp;quot;Plus-Size&amp;quot; Models 10 Awesome Fashion Brands for Sizes 10 and Up Do you have a question for Cosmopolitan.com&amp;#039;s Style Editor, Charles Manning?
