Thick Thrift: A Plus-Size Vintage Paradise Empowering Fat Fashion

For years, plus-size vintage shoppers have faced limited options and a lack of inclusivity in the vintage world. But thanks to Instagram accounts like @historicalfatpeople and new initiatives like Thick Thrift, the first all-plus-size flea market in Los Angeles, fat people are reclaiming their place in the fashion scene. Thick Thrift is a celebration of fat bodies and a rebuke to the idea that fat people should hide their bodies in drab clothing. With its diverse selection of vendors and welcoming atmosphere, Thick Thrift is creating a community where fat people can feel celebrated and accepted, and find joy in dressing their bodies in whatever way they choose.
