Get ready to be inspired as you delve into the world of Taylor Freeman, a plus-size fashion influencer whose unique voice and perspective make a big difference.
Taylor Freeman’s journey to becoming a plus-size fashion influencer began nearly a decade ago and was caught up in a desire to see more diverse expressions in the media.
“I started a YouTube channel after years of making videos, but didn’t upload them!” she shares.
It was a nudge from a high school classmate. He started his own channel and helped him make the leap as a sign for her. Her motivation was clear from the beginning:
“I wanted to show young plus size women like me that they were amazing, they could take up space just like everyone else, and that we didn’t need to be limited to being “fat, funny girls.”
Taylor Freeman: Plus-size fashion influencer with impact and style
The true impact of her message was revealed when it reached beyond her immediate audience.
Taylor realized that her content was making a real difference. “When people who knew my mother were constantly coming to her about how they loved my confidence and wanted my daughters to find the same confidence in themselves.”
This ripple effect of self-acceptance and boldness is a testament to the authenticity she brings to her platform.
What does Taylor show up and keeps making? It’s a combination of passion and purpose.
“My love for fashion, my love for creating and curating experiences through clothing, colour, makeup and music,” she explains.
This artistic drive is evident in her personal style. She explains, “In three compelling terms, bold, strategic and colorful.
Her vibrant approach is heavily influenced by her roots.
Taylor’s platform isn’t just about sharing costumes. It is a powerful tool to challenge narrow beauty standards. She says, “I encourage women to not hide their belly, double chin, big legs and arms, but to encourage women not to embrace every body!” This commitment to unfiltered expression is important in moving the conversation forward in the plus-size fashion industry.
When she was asked what the brand wants to understand about plus-size fashion consumers, Taylor’s answer is direct and insightful.
Taylor offers practical wisdom for those looking to increase their style confidence. Her top-style hacking for all plus-sized people is to “know your proportions! You need to know if you have a long or short torso. It makes all the difference in your styling.”
She shares styling tips to quickly boost her confidence.
And while accepting her body is paramount, she also offers practical “pets of style” that acknowledge the power of basic clothing. It’s about strengthening, not hiding.
What Taylor feels “unstoppable” is incredibly comfortable shape. Her adidas Sambas, “They’re perfect for everything and are so comfortable!” she screams, proving that true style doesn’t have to sacrifice comfort.
Ultimately, Taylor defines influence as the ability to think about and rethink about whether there is a better way to do something, not just fashion, but also the ability to think about or rethink.
It’s about opening up and offering a new perspective. Going forward, Taylor is revealing an exciting new venture. “Brand deal!” she shares. “I’m ready to send a media kit!” Her future is bright and full of possibilities for a wider reach.
Taylor hopes that after visiting her page, the core message her followers will take is, “I hope my followers leave knowing that my followers are not just for me, but for all of us, and that just because I don’t start at 100% isn’t for all of us. Taylor Freeman truly embodies the spirit of taking up space in a truly, incredible, and incredible way.
