Susan Moses knows how to dress curves. She’s a celebrity stylist who has worked with Britney Spears, Destiny’s Child, Queen Latifah and more. Some would say she has enough experience to write a book…so she did. The Art Of Dressing Curves: The Best Kept Secrets Of A Fashion Stylist is out now and dedicated to helping women perfect their wardrobe, turning it into one that will only give them confidence.

While she’s now helping women through her words, at today’s Christian Siriano x Lane Bryantfashion show celebrating the new collection, she inspired others with speech. Moses spoke about her mission for the world to accept others at every shape, color, and size. “Confidence and authenticity arise from acceptance,” she said. “Acceptance is seeing people who look like you. Inclusion helps women feel good as they are, with who they are.” She went on to explain that the pendulum is swinging in a positive direction, but there is still a long way to go. “My hope is that the open and honest discussions will help reveal how we embrace body inclusivity and diversity to make sure this growth stays on course.”

Moses knows all of this firsthand. She revealed that when she was in elementary school, her teacher told her friend to tell Moses that she should lose weight before middle school or she won’t make any new friends. It’s clear that she’s well on her path to making sure other girls never feel that way. Check out more inspiration from her book below:
