The Cut took plus-sized model Marquita Pring to five stores in Soho and Nolita to see how they would dress up a bikini. Click through to see how Calypso, Thomas Sires, Babel Fair, Cynthia Vincent, and Topshop styled Marquita. Interesting side note: While the blog does mention that their model is signed to Ford+, there's absolutely no self-congratulation here about using a model who isn't size 2, and not a single store stylist says anything inane about "disguising problem areas." This is how shopping for the beach should be. [The Cut]
