Series details.
Cutting the Curve is a bold, intimate docuseries that asks, 'What is the cost of being visible only when it's marketable?' In an era of Ozempic bodies and curated tokenism, curve and plus-size women speak with fierce honesty about visibility, rejection, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up when your body is no longer trending. At its centre is Samoan New Zealand opera-singer-turned-model Isabella Moore, whose story anchors a wider look at fashion's quiet retreat from inclusivity. From Auckland to London and New York, the series follows models, stylists, and cultural disruptors who aren't outsiders critiquing the industry—they've lived it. Visually sumptuous and tonally sharp, Cutting the Curve peels back the glossy veneer of fashion to show why true inclusion is so hard to sustain, and why it matters that everyone is seen.
