Students at the University of Washington in Seattle put on a fashion show designed to display all kinds of body types, not just skinny models. The show, entitled "Everybody, Every Body," featured female models up to size 26, ranging in height from four foot ten to over six feet, and male models size 30 to 44, ranging in height from five foot six to six foot three.

The University of Washington fashion design students ran the show using clothes from outlets such as Torrid, Lucy, and The North Face. The show was conducted in conjunction with National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

"It's a crazy, crazy time," said co-director Rachel Hollcraft. "People who are pregnant are trying to lose weight. All this needs to end. We need to love ourselves as is."
