SU alumna Emme Aronson’s initiative, Fashion Without Limits, works to change the conception of body size in high fashion.
The first limit that Syracuse University alumna Emme Aronson’s initiative, Fashion Without Limits, ran into was mannequin size. Emme approached SU professor Jeffrey Mayer about offering students an opportunity to create clothes for the size 16 model.
“I said, ‘Well, the problem we are going to have is that our dress forms are all size 6 or 8,’” Mayer said.
