Plus Size Modeling

Years ago if you were overweight you had little self-esteem and felt bad enough about it. You would never even think of parading down a runway so everyone can gaze at your every move. It was simply a ridiculous idea. Today, if your overweight, you can model plus size fashions. The requirements for plus-size models are no different from those of high fashion models. They must have excellent skin, hair and teeth, and photograph well. The type of modeling work that plus-size models engage in is comparable to that of other professional models. Work includes being photographed in advertising campaigns, magazine editorials, catwalk work, live-TV work and commercials. Currently, plus-size models are being employed by the media to stimulate healthy self-esteem and body image, especially regarding struggles with eating disorders.
So you see, anyone can be a fashion model.

- Very informative article. I have never really wanted to be a model not even as a young girl. I do enjoy watching fashion shows (walk-ways) on TV but as far as being one not for me lol. I think the standard for modeling has improved but still needs to improve some more. Everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin regardless of their size.
