Arts Council Wales has received a 40% cut in funding in real terms since 2010 and Mr Rhys says he has grave concerns the sector will not exist in a decade.He also warned the arts are at risk of becoming elitist if not properly funded.

“I doubt very much of it will be there in 10 years' time, other than it might be in the hands of some very, very rich benefactors, and won't be available for everybody at an affordable price,” he added.The report has been published, Mr Rhys said, “as an advocacy tool” to fight for the sector and its funding.In December, the Welsh government will publish its draft budget.

“The turnover of the sector and the creative industries and culture is something like £1.6bn," Mr Rhys added."The employment is in the region of 40,000, which is similar to things like insurance or the financial sector, it’s similar to telecoms.

"This is a serious professional sector and it needs to be supported because it cannot go on as it’s been.”

Mr Rhys also believes the arts should receive statutory funding status from the Welsh government.It seem the reality is that designers like Charles are the exception to the rule. As much as activists resist it, industry insiders confirm that body positivity is behind us.

Daniel Mitchell-Jones, co-founder of modelling agency Chapter Management, said: "Yes, things have shifted. In 2020 and 2021, we saw so much more diversity and inclusion on the runways - but body-wise, that's taken a backseat now."Daniel said when he sends his curve models to castings, they're always pushed, but is often told the brand isn't interested this season.

Plus-size model Enrika told the BBC that not only are plus-sized models being booked less, their agents are actively struggling to secure work for them.She explained: "It's not unusual to see campaigns featuring four sample-size models and only one plus-size model. This can make you feel like you're just a token."
