Known for her irreverent humor and self-mockery, the comedian and host Christine Morency is not afraid to say what she thinks. As she gave the change of her coin to the Doc Mailloux when he had made grossophobic remarks last May, she took advantage of the platform of 107,3 Rouge to express what she thinks of closing stores Addition Elle.
For her, these stores were an opportunity for women with voluptuous shapes to be able to enjoy a personalized and pleasant shopping experience. She explains that at Addition Elle “ we had wide sides [de vêtements taille plus], large changing rooms. We had done everything so that we “did”. » « For once, I don’t need to sit on a little bench where I have to put a buttock and a half ».
While in most stores plus size clothing is scarce and is often tucked deep inside stores (or worse, only available online), a healthy, body-friendly shopping experience is a must. hard to find.
Christine Morency deplores this closure, when she no longer knows, as when she was young, where she can now dress without it affecting her self-esteem. She explains what she felt before the arrival of this brand in these few lines: “ When I was young, I didn’t have stores like Addition Elle. It takes me exactly back to that time when I didn’t know where to dress, and I was like, “Well, I must be disgusting. “ »
The fashion world has always been reluctant to accept body diversity and the arrival of the Addition brand It brought a wind of change in the industry which unfortunately did not last over time. We still hope that this is not an end and that other businesses will be more open and respectful towards people of all sizes.
