I’ve recently talked to a friend who told me that the first idea that flashes across his mind when he hears the word “model” is “zero size”. And yes, for many years we’ve been watching skinny girls walking down the runway. Now this is so usual that when we see a plump woman posing on the cover of a glossy or strutting at red carpet we feel surprised, no, that’s not the word, I would say astonished!
After that talk I decided to write a post about women who are not skinny but plump, and feel proud of their shapes. Of course there are few of such ladies but I like the fact there are they – those women who are confident enough to show up their figures and stand against all that nonsense told about heavy people.
We will begin from Crystal Renn, a supermodel with nice feminine curves. As well as other chubby girls, she used to limit herself in pastry, do plenty of physical exercises, go on various diets; but then suddenly stopped and understood that this was the way to nowhere.
And soon she posed for Jean-Paul Gaultier, and graced the covers of Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and ELLE.
The next big girl we are going to talk about is Mia Tyler. She is Liv Tyler’s sister and Steven Tyler’s daughter. She is a successful plus-size model, an actress and a fashion designer. She likes her shape a lot and doesn’t feel shy to show it.
