Sometimes, it seems like everything is about getting skinny, juice cleanses will cut calories, yoga will accumulate you in tip-top shape and there's consistently a new diet to try. But all the absorption placed on being thin is exhausting, not to mention dangerous. That's why we are so inspired by the ascent profiles and embrace of plus size models in the fashion industry today.
Plus size models are full-figured models, or extended-sizes models, or outsize models or also large size models. It is a term applied to a person who is engaged primarily in modeling plus-size clothing. Plus size models were first represented by model agencies in the 1970s. Prior to this, models freelanced directly with retailers, designers and magazines. Now there is the plus-size industry. Fashion designers are starting to look more closely at the earning potential from plus-size clothing, and have used plus size models for their advertising campaigns and catwalks.
Currently the most popular by demand and exposure, here is a list of the top ten plus size models in the business today. Many of these plus-size models are relatively unknown, but we're hoping to change that. This list of the top 10 plus size models, based not only the hottest women, but also the most successful and ambitious. These healthy, full-sized hotties are riding the wave of public backlash against the walking coat hangers plying the runways.
