Beyoncé's new Ivy Park collection criticised for lack of body diversity

Beyoncé’s latest Ivy Park range has been criticised for its lack of body diversity.

The Flex Park swimwear capsule, which is to be launched in July, is said to celebrate “the empowered spirit of confident self-expression and individuality – positively and boldly,” according to the press release.

But a promotional photo of the range, which features celebrities such as the influencer Kristen Noel Crawley, the actor Quincy Brown and the plus-size model Tabria Majors modelling the range of bikinis, swim shorts and bathing suits, prompted commenters to ask why there is no size inclusivity for both sexes.

People are asking: 
“I love the range for women, but what about the men?” 
“Where are the plus-size male models at? It’s about time too.”
“Where is the variation in the male body shapes? Always masculine and muscled ones … Boring.”
“What about guys with normal bodies?”

‘How do you flex’ is an awful tag line from her marketing department

Flex Park marks the first foray into swimwear for the Adidas x Ivy Park collaboration, will boast a bright neon color palette — solar orange and screaming orange — with contrasting white stripes and accents, including the Ivy Park monogram.
Key items include one- and two-piece bathing suits and beach-ready cover ups for women as well as a men’s matching shirt and shirt set, a slide, a unisex bucket hat and tote bag. Other accessories include a towel and water bottle.
