Early one morning about four years ago Melissa Miller woke up from a deep sleep with an answer to the question that had been keeping her awake for weeks prior. It hit her the second she opened her eyes. “It was sort of out of no where, like it had come to me in a dream that night,” said Miller, “I just remember waking up and being like ah-ha.” Miller is better known as Emme, the first plus size supermodel, and the question that was keeping her up was how she could contribute the fashion industry, or larger than than that, to womanhood, in a way to that would make an impact.

Currently, fashion industry can be defined as a fundamental industry for many reasons: first, because of its economic value and also due to the social function; meaning that apparel provide the consumers’ existence.
