Nebraska's Venn Jemkur recently presented to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Her project focuses on the sizing and design lapses in the plus-size market. It discusses the century-long body size bias of the fashion industry and it advocates for a fundamental change in the practice of fashion through a trickle-up effect that can be achieved in fashion colleges and institutions.
