Fashion fans react to Vogue's use of AI models
Vogue 's August issue has sparked controversy by featuring an AI -generated model in a double-page advertisement for the fashion label Guess. The AI model was created by Seraphinne Vallora, an agency specialising in AI-driven marketing campaigns, and was identified by a fine print label. The use of an AI model has drawn mixed reactions from readers, with many expressing concern over its implications for beauty standards and the fashion industry. Plus-size model Felicity Hayward criticised the move as "lazy and cheap," warning it could undermine efforts towards greater diversity in fashion. This development follows a recent multi-year partnership between OpenAI and Condé Nast, Vogue's publisher, to integrate content into ChatGPT search results.

I've found the best bras for bigger busts, and they don't sacrifice style for support
As a plus-size model and a body image activist, it's safe to say I've seen my fair share of bras for bigger busts. While there are some great styles out there, there are some fuller-bust bras that are uncomfortable and unsupportive. When it comes to choosing the right bra for you, knowing your bra size is crucial. Our bodies change dramatically throughout our lifetime, and many women are wearing the wrong bra size, so before investing in new bras, make sure you know which size you need. Brands such as Elomi offer a free online bra fitting service, so you don't even need to leave the house to double-check your size and fit. But even once your size is sorted, there's no guarantee that all the bras out there will work for you. It helps to know if a bra will have an uncomfortable underwire or annoying straps, so I tested a range of bras for bigger busts to find the very best. How I tested I tested lots of bras by wearing each for a minimum of eight hours. I wore the bras while working from home, walking the dog and travelling into London on the train. I was looking for bras that were super comfortable, supportive, breathable and adjustable for different outfits. I also wanted to try various fashion-forward styles, as having a larger chest shouldn't mean missing out on the latest trends.
