«No me siento la ‘gordita’», una modelo de We Love Flamenco se enfrenta a los «haters» por su talla pidiendo «empatía, tolerancia y diversidad»
We Love Flamenco 2022 was developing normally within the new normality to which Covid-19 has forced us.The joy in the flamenco fashion sector is maximum and the parades have arrived to put that point of illusion that for two years the pandemic had stolen us.However, a story on the Instagram profile of one of the models has focused on one of the issues that are most battle in recent times, the normalization of all types of bodies (both on the catwalk and outsideshe).«I don't feel the‘ chubby ’.Empathy, tolerance and diversity ».What happened?
Soledad Bayón is one of the usual models of the Flemish fashion catwalk We Love Flamenco since it was born 10 years ago.The young Huelva usually participates in the parades and editorials of the designers being one of the known faces of the sector.This 2022 has put the flower again in the hair and has worn the new flamenco costume designs of the participants on the first catwalk of the year.But something has dyed this experience for the model and this has reflected in its social network account.
"I'm not pregnant.I am not ashamed to be among my partners.I don't feel the ‘chubby’.I have no disease that makes me swell.I don't have the rule this week (and if I had it, it's not bad luck).Nothing happens to me.I only have a different size than 38.So don't ask me anymore, if you want to tell me something about the parades, you can tell me that I'm very good, thank you.See you on Friday at We Love Flamenco, Creatures.Empathy, tolerance and diversity.Thank you and goodbye".
It is evident that he has had to suffer a flood of comments (some negative, others curious as he tells us) about his physique to have to get to the point of giving these explanations.In a pleasant, but forceful tone, the model has made it clear that it has no problem, that its size comes out of which the standards set as ideal but that this is no problem to do their job.Fashion has long been shy for a long time, has begun to promote -through models called Curvy -that normalization of the female figure within the parades, advertising, etc. which makes feminism for years ago.

South Boulevar has talked to the model that acknowledges feeling overwhelmed by the many reactions and messages that you are receiving since its publication.«I have a very sarcastic speaking and people can believe that I am in my house crying and it is not so.I know not everything has been evident, but there have been all kinds of comments, of course.I have never taken it as bad, I have to accept that there is everything on Instagram and I have had to endure this.At first I did not manage it as well as now, it is true that I am very exposed to the criticism and opinion of people as a flamenco fashion model because it is my job and they pay me for it ».

Profession models, not size
GALERÍAAre you going to be a mother?You are more chubby than the others.You have to lose 4 kilos.You are more filling than a long time ago, right?Those are some of the comments that Soledad Bayón received while she worked on the catwalk.Which ones have bothered you the most?«There may be jokes, but they don't feel good.I am 31 years old and I am sensitized with the theme of pregnancies and after the pandemic with the whole issue of diseases ... In addition, I am a psychology student and it is true that it has sat very bad that they asked me, above all, if I was pregnant.There is no case, but if I were wanting and could not those comments would have destroyed me, ”he replies.
On whether there is more diversity of bodies and sizes in flamenco fashion, Soledad is clear.«On a flamenco fashion catwalk that is seen a body that is not size 38 is important and I would love to have more companions with size 42.I think that flamenco fashion, which is accessible to all types of women, should show it all kinds of women on the catwalk and in photos and that those different sizes are normal because when the client arrives at the workshop or the store will be reflected and will want to buy the costume".
