Is the business idea an actual solution or a harm for the community?

The brand faced some sharp critiques for offering plus sized pants. The Sharks questioned whether marketing clothing for larger bodies indirectly encourages unhealthy lifestyles. Their concerns focused on whether the brand’s mission aligns with promoting community health.

But people were quick to defend it, pointing out that providing stylish, well-fitting clothes for plus-size individuals isn’t about promoting weight gain—it’s about making everyone feel confident and represented.

Some people left comments highlighting an important truth—weight gain isn’t always a simple result of overeating. Factors like genetics, medical conditions, and mental health challenges can play a big role. Critics of the Sharks’ comments stressed that assuming otherwise oversimplifies a complex issue.

However, some people agreed with the Sharks as they shared concerns about whether normalizing larger body sizes could unintentionally encourage unhealthy habits. They argued that promoting self-love shouldn’t mean ignoring the importance of physical health.

What do you think? Should fashion brands focus solely on health-conscious messaging, or is there room for body positivity and inclusivity at every size?
